Poxvirus preparation CONPIND initiates production of the major inflammatory mediators IL-1α and TNF-α in human whole blood and in blood mononuclear cell cultures
ABSTRACT
We investigated whether the choice of anticoagulant or the application of density gradient mononuclear cell isolation may account for conflicting published data regarding the levels of the scavenger receptors' expression in healthy individuals. We demonstrate that the detection of CD163, but not CD36, differs dramatically among the methods.
