| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to human and porcine endothelial cell derived growth factors (EDHF) that contain one or a mixture of more than one endothelial cell proteins having a molecular weight greater than about 30 kDa. The EDHF is added to culture medium to expand tri-lineage pre-dendritic myleomonocytic progenitor cells and culture endothelial cells. The present invention also relates to a method of amplifying myeloid dendritic cell precursors both in vitro and in vivo. The EDHF is also used therapeutically to increase myeloid dendritic cell production in vivo to enhance the activity of vaccines.</p> |
