Dendritic cells (DC) are highly specialised antigen-presenting and antigen processing cells located in skin, mucosal tissues and lymphoid tissues. These cells play a key role in immunological reactions throughout the body. They have been used to develop in vitro assay methods for contact sensitisation, antigen presentation, T-cell stimulation, and other immunological reactions.
Storage: Either prepare cells for long term storage in liquid nitrogen vapor phase or thaw for use. Storage in liquid phase nitrogen is NOT recommended. Short term storage of cells (less than 2 weeks) at −80 °C is acceptable, but should be minimised to ensure maximum stability. Once thawed, samples must be used immediately.
Varoitus: Intended for research use only and not for direct therapeutic or diagnostic use in human or animals, or for further manufacturing of therapeutic products or devices.
