pulsed cells

Выражение встречается в следующем контексте:

Undoubtedly the most promising recent publication on therapeutic immunization for
immunodeficiency virus infection involved administration of autologous dendritic cells pulsed with inactivated virus.[27,28] When administered to chronically SIV-infected macaques with uncontrolled viremia, these pulsed cells resulted in a durable 100- to 1000-fold reduction in plasma viremia.[27] The same approach reduced HIV viral load in humans.[28]
