CD14 and Schnyder corneal dystrophy: Although our in vitro system did not allow us to estimate the contribution of DCs to inflammatory cytokine production in vivo in the bloodstream compared to other cells, the present data indicate that the DCs of patients with SCD, especially CD14+ DCs, produce these cytokines, which may be associated with their systemic amounts and the migration of monocytes and neutrophils to DC sites.
