Immunoglobulin-like transcript 3 (ILT3) belongs to a family of inhibitory receptors with
cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs). Numerous studies
have reported that increased ILT3 expression is associated with the tolerogenic properties of
antigen-presenting cells (APCs) including dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, human CD34+
hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HPSCs) were transduced with self-inactivating lentiviral
vector carrying the ILT3 gene, and then induced to differentiate into DCs. Long-term and …
