"This study focused on the question of how monocyte-derived dendritic cells (Mo-DCs) that capture dead tumor cells (Mo-DCs-Tum) secrete interleukin 12 (IL-12) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). Mo-DCs-Tum showed higher secretions of IL-12 and TNF-alpha than were shown by Mo-DCs. Enhanced nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) activation was also induced in Mo-DCs-Tum within 6 h," researchers in Japan report.
