Butyrate affects differentiation, maturation and function of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells and macrophages

Summary We studied the in vitro effects of butyric acid on differentiation, maturation and function of dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages (MΦ) generated from human monocytes. A non-toxic dose of butyrate was shown to alter the phenotypic differentiation process of DC as assessed by a persistence o... View More
