I mean, DCs can be differentiate in vitro from monocytes isolated from buffy coat by GM-CSF and IL4, (Lanzavecchia) or IFN gamma treatments (Lapenta, Belardelli). These DCs can be cultivate in vitro for short period under stimolation by cytokines, they will died in short time because are highly differentiate cells. Realy, I 'd never hear about human DC cell lines , only mouse DC from Ricciardi-Castagnoli P,
Please, check this review for established dendritic cell lines and models using these cells. I think any research lab would be willing to provide you with those free of charge only by signing the copyright agreement.

According to the review, this is the best DC candidate: MUTZ-3 cell line (available from the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikro-organismen und Zellkulturen, Braunschweig, Germany http://www.dsmz.de/human_and_animal_cell_lines/info.php?dsmz_nr=295&term

My doubts are : why I have to study a tumour-derived cell line when I can easily prepare primary cells? Any discovery will need to be confirmed on normal cells to have general value , and any discovery will be also sujected to patent of the company. What is your opinion?
Of course we do not know what Beyza have to do..... we can only guess...hoping to be helpful
Im going to work on CD1 positive cells for allergy treatment. i have problem to find blood donors for dendritic cells. Then I thought if I find a cell line it can be easy to work with
Beyza have mention one, availability of cell lines for when you have to set your experiments. If you have an establised cell line recognized as a model for the condition you are studying, that makes things easier. However, I am for using primary cell cultures whenever possible. That has been discussed in several other forums at ResGate
Babak, we get used blood bags after transfusion from blood transfusion center of hospitals, from healty blood donors, is it not possible in your country?
