Skin-derived dendritic cells acquire and degrade the scrapie agent following in vitro exposure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The accumulation of the scrapie agent in lymphoid tissues following inoculation via the skin is critical for efficient neuroinvasion, but how the agent is initially transported from the skin to the draining lymph node is not known. Langerhans cells (LCs)

The disabled dendritic cell [PDF]

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2001
ABSTRACT Dendritic cells are important antigen‐presenting cells of the immune system that induce and modulate immune responses. They interact with T and B lymphocytes as well as with natural killer cells to promote activation and differentiation of these cells.

The clinical application of cancer immunotherapy based on naturally circulating dendritic cells

open access: yesJournal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2019
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 ...

Genome Wide Transcriptome Analysis of Dendritic Cells Identifies Genes with Altered Expression in Psoriasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Activation of dendritic cells by different pathogens induces the secretion of proinflammatory mediators resulting in local inflammation. Importantly, innate immunity must be properly controlled, as its continuous activation leads to the development of ...

Malaria impairs T cell clustering and immune priming despite normal signal 1 from dendritic cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Interactions between antigen-presenting dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells are essential for the induction of an immune response. However, during malaria infection, DC function is compromised and immune responses against parasite and heterologous antigens

Intestinal dendritic cells [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2015
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The intestinal immune system is constantly exposed to foreign antigens, which for the most part should be tolerated, but the immune system retains the ability to react rapidly and effectively to eliminate pathogens. Dendritic cells are at the front line in maintaining intestinal integrity as they are widely distributed within the ...

Therapeutic dendritic cell vaccination against human papillomavirus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Cervical cancer, which is caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), is the second most common cancer among women worldwide, leading to 230000 deaths annually.

The role of CD103+ Dendritic cells in the intestinal mucosal immune system.

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2011
While dendritic cells (DC) are central to the induction and regulation of adaptive immunity, these cells are very heterogenous and specific subsets can be characterized based on the expression of cell surface markers and functional properties. Intestinal

Generation of inducible immortalized dendritic cells with proper immune function in vitro and in vivo.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Dendritic cells are the professional antigen presenting cells of innate immunity and key players in maintaining the balance of immune responses. Studies with dendritic cells are mainly limited by their low numbers in vivo and their difficult maintenance ...

Tolerogenic Dendritic Cells [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Immunology, 2003
▪ Abstract  Dendritic cells (DCs) have several functions in innate and adaptive immunity. In addition, there is increasing evidence that DCs in situ induce antigen-specific unresponsiveness or tolerance in central lymphoid organs and in the periphery. In the thymus DCs generate tolerance by deleting self-reactive T cells.
