Changes of Dendritic Cells in Acute Lung Injury

Changes of Dendritic Cells in Acute Lung Injury

To observe changes of circulating and tissue dendritic cells in acute lung injury,including invasive aspergillosis pneumonia

Change of circulating and tissular dendritic cells of patients with acute lung injury was still unclear, we used a flow cytometry-based assay to quantify circulating and tissular DCs and their HLA-DR surface expression at the time of diagnosis and during the first week of evolution in patients with acute lung injury, and healthy people as controls.
