It is now over 20 years since dendritic cells (DC) were first identified in and isolated from the spleens of mice (1,2) and they continue to be a much-studied population. Only a small proportion of spleen cells are DC, but the large size of the organ means that useful numbers of DC can still be purified. In recent years the ability to grow cells with the phenotypic and functional properties of DC from bone marrow progenitors has opened new avenues of research. However, the relationship of cells grown in this way to DC populations in vivo is unknown and the need remains to study DC present in tissues.

Panoskaltsis N, Knight SC, Reid CDL, 2000, Differential cytokine profiles of leukaemic blasts and leukaemic dendritic cells: implications for immunotherapy, Blood, Vol: 96, ISSN: 0006-4971

Dendritic cells (DCs) generated from leukaemic blasts are being evaluated for use in the immunotherapy of leukaemia. DCs can be cultured from most subtypes of AML blasts in approximately 50-75% of samples. These leukaemic DCs (LDCs) are derived from the leukaemic clone and are similar to mature DCs in their expression of surface markers and in their capacity to stimulate lymphocytes. However, stimulation of cytotoxicity against the original AML blasts using T cells expanded with LDCs has had limited success. These cytotoxicity results may be partly explained by the different methods used to generate the LDCs, in particular, the cytokines used in the culture. AML bone marrow mononuclear cells were cultured in serum-free medium for 4-5 and 13-14 days in the presence of granulocytemacrophage colony stimulating factor and stem cell factor and supplemented with one of the following cytokines: tumour necrosis factor(TNF)-a, interleukin(IL)-4, IL-12, or flt-3 ligand ( FL). Cells were evaluated by flow cytometry for DC surface markers, CD80, CD86, CD 1 a, CD40, CD 11 c, and HLA-DR, as well as for intracellular cytokines IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, and interferon(IFN)-y in the presence and absence of calcium ionophore, and the vesiculartransport inhibitor, monensin. Prior to culture, the AML blasts were skewed towards a type 2 cytokine profile, and in particular, showed IL-10 production out of proportion to the other cytokines. After culture, the cytokine profile of the LDC was influenced differentially, depending on the cytokine cocktails used. Exposure to TNF-a during the entire culture period, did not polarise the cells towards type 1 or type 2 cytokine production, but IL-4 caused the cultured cells to produce more IL-4. IL-12 exposure induced type 1 cytokines, namely IL-12 and IFN-y. In contrast, FL upregulated both type 1 and type 2 cytokines. Interestingly, IL-10 production by the leukaemic blasts was abrogated in all culture conditions. In one sample, although IL-4 induced mo
