Isolation and functional characterization of mononuclear phagocytes from human lepromatous lesions

In the present study, inflammatory cells from human lepromatous lesions were isolated by enzymatic dissociation of tissue. They were maintained in culture up to five days and their morphologic, cythochemicaland functional characteristics were described. Células inflamatórias presentes em lesões Virc...

Description
Summary:In the present study, inflammatory cells from human lepromatous lesions were isolated by enzymatic dissociation of tissue. They were maintained in culture up to five days and their morphologic, cythochemicaland functional characteristics were described. Células inflamatórias presentes em lesões Virchowianas humanas foram isoladas do tecido por um processo de digestão enzimática. Elas foram mantidas em cultura por cerca de 5 dias e suas características morfológicas citoquímicas efuncionaisforam descritas.
