Figure 1 Typical appearance of DC cultures on 7 d.

Figure 2 Transmission electron microscopy ( × 8000).

Figure 3 Surface phenotype of DCs on d 7 of culture. Flow cytometric analyses of surface molecules in DC generated from PBMNC obtained from a healthy volunteer (A) or an EC patient (B). Representative results of one of the subjects are shown.
