  • Disease status in human and experimental arthritis, and response to TNF blockade, is associated with MHC class II invariant chain (CD74) isoform expression

    However, in our non-responder cohort we observed slightly lower expression of CD74, compared with responders. While healthy donors with higher proportions of intermediate subset monocytes would be expected to have greater overall CD74 gene expression in the total monocyte population, an arthritic patient's monocyte subset phenotypes may be perturbed by disease activity or treatment to a greater degree than observed with normal homeostatic processes [46,47]. TNF blockade has a notable demarginating effect due to changes in the expression of selectins on endothelial cells [48].

  • The development of macrophages from human CD34<sup>+</sup> haematopoietic stem cells in serum-free cultures is optimized by IL-3 and SCF

    2013, Cytokine
    Citation Excerpt :

    Despite the ease with which serum-containing medium and M-CSF produce monocyte-derived Mφ (MDM), this technique has several shortcomings. The few circulating monocytes that are capable of proliferation [1] require several days per cell division [2], which limits expansion. Using MDM, Mφ development can only be studied from the monocyte stage onwards, and furthermore some monocyte subsets have matured to a point beyond which they can be differentiated to certain cell types [3].
