Cutting Edge: B220+CCR9− Dendritic Cells Are Not Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells but Are Precursors of Conventional Dendritic Cells [PDF]
Abstract Mouse lymphoid organs contain two major subsets of dendritic cells (DC) that differ in their phenotype and functions: conventional DC (cDC) and plasmacytoid DC (pDC). Recently, it has been proposed that differential expression of CCR9 could distinguish functionally distinct pDC subsets.

Recruitment and Differentiation of Conventional Dendritic Cell Precursors in Tumors [PDF]
Abstract The origin of dendritic cells (DCs) in tumors remains obscure. Recent studies indicate that conventional DCs (cDCs) in lymphoid tissues arise from a distinct population of committed cDC precursors (pre-cDCs) that originate in bone marrow and migrate via blood.

Usp18 Promotes Conventional CD11b+ Dendritic Cell Development [PDF]
Abstract Dendritic cells (DCs) represent the key cells linking innate and adaptive immune responses. It is critical to understand the molecular factors regulating DC differentiation. Usp18 is an IFN-inducible member of the ubiquitin-specific protease family, which deconjugates ubiquitin-like modifier ISG15 from target proteins and ...

The clinical application of cancer immunotherapy based on naturally circulating dendritic cells
Dendritic cells (DCs) can initiate and direct adaptive immune responses. This ability is exploitable in DC vaccination strategies, in which DCs are educated ex vivo to present tumor antigens and are administered into the patient with the aim to induce a ...

Dendritic cells in experimental renal inflammation - Part I [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DCs) are bone marrow-derived professional antigen-presenting cells that act as master regulators of acquired and innate immune responses.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in initiating and shaping immune responses. The effects of DCs on adaptive immune responses depend partly on functional specialization of distinct DC subsets, and partly on the activation state of DCs, which is ...

Dendritic cells in human renal inflammation - Part II [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DCs) are bone marrow-derived professional antigen-presenting cells that act as master regulators of acquired and innate immune responses. Here, we review the available information on their role in human renal inflammation.

Differential gene expression in thrombomodulin (TM; CD141)(+) and TM(-) dendritic cell subsets. [PDF]
Previously we have shown in a mouse model of bronchial asthma that thrombomodulin can convert immunogenic conventional dendritic cells into tolerogenic dendritic cells while inducing its own expression on their cell surface.

CD14 Expressing Precursors Give Rise to Highly Functional Conventional Dendritic Cells for Use as Dendritic Cell Vaccine [PDF]
Induction of long-lasting immunity by dendritic cells (DCs) makes them attractive candidates for anti-tumor vaccination. Although DC vaccinations are generally considered safe, clinical responses remain inconsistent in clinical trials. This initiated studies to identify subsets of DCs with superior capabilities to induce effective and memory anti-tumor

Subsets of migrating intestinal dendritic cells [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DCs) in the intestine are heterogeneous. Phenotypically different populations of conventional DCs have been identified in the intestinal lamina propria, Peyer's patches, and in the draining mesenteric lymph nodes, to which these DCs ...
