Monocyte derived cells with immunostimulating properties, their preparation and uses

摘要

The invention relates to stimulated monocyte derived cells presenting the following characteristics: 1) increased release, with respect to normal monocyte derived cells, of for instance PDGF (platelet derived growth factor), and increased presence, on their membranes, with respect to normal monocyte derived cells, of for instance CD1alpha, and/or: 2) presence in their nucleus of at least one exogenous nucleic acid which has been integrated in the absence of the monocyte derived cell division. These stimulated monocyte derived cells can be the active substance of pharmaceutical compositions.
