Myeloid and Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells: Reference Ranges in the Peripheral Blood of Healthy Children

Abstract

To date, few publications report on dendritic cells values in healthy children and mostly are found as control groups in studies focused on either allergic and autoimmune diseases or malignancies. This report provides an overview of 8 publications regarding absolute dendritic cells quantification in the peripheral blood of healthy children by using minimum manipulated samples processed within 24 hours.

Zusammenfassung

Bisher gibt es nur wenige Publikationen über Normwerte Dendritischer Zellen in gesunden Kindern, die zumeist als Werte aus Kontrollgruppen zu Studien über Autoimmunerkrankungen oder maligne Erkrankungen erhoben wurden. Im vorliegenden Report wird daher eine Übersicht über 8 Publikationen zu den Absolutwerten Dendritischer Zellen im peripheren Blut gesunder Kinder präsentiert. Einbezogen wurden Ergebnisse von Proben ohne größere Manipulation, die innerhalb von 24 Stunden gemessen wurden.

Key words
