A novel tumor-associated myeloid cell population inhibits antigen-specific immune       responses in cancer patients
RNA libraries were prepared according to the TruSeq RNA Sample Prep Kit v2 (Illumina). As for the study design, three myeloid immune populations (BDCA1+DCs, BDCA1+CD14+ cells and monocytes) were isolated from the peripheral blood of 3 healthy individuals by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS).
