| Abstract | Dendritic cells are migratory cells. Before they extravasate from the circulation into the skin across capillary blood vessel walls, they have to interact with endothelial cells. Using a fluorimetric adhesion assay, we have recently shown that CD34+-derived dendritic cell precursors are able to bind to resting and stimulated dermal microvascular endothelial cells. In the present study, we attempted to visualize this process at an ultrastructural level. CD34+ progenitor cells were purified from human cord blood samples by means of immunomagnetic beads, and dendritic cells were generated by culture in the presence of GM-CSF, TNF-α and hSCF for 5 days. Immature CD83− CD86low dendritic cells were added to human dermal microvascular endothelial cells grown to confluence on membrane chambers. After 2 h, unbound dendritic cell precursors were removed, and bound cells were prepared for routine scanning electron microscopy. We found that (1) dendritic cell precursors firmly adhere to microvascular endothelial cells, enveloping them with their surface processes; (2) dendritic cell precursors are extremely deformable as they squeeze through the dense network of microvascular endothelial cells; (3) microvascular endothelial cells form, in part, a multi-layered network rather than the typical cobblestone pattern as seen by phase-contrast microscopy. The morphology of dendritic cell precursors and of human dermal microvascular endothelial cells was examined here, for the first time, by scanning electron microscopy. These data further emphasize that CD34+-derived dendritic cells efficiently adhere to dermal microvascular endothelial cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
