Background HIV-1 infection is associated with profound dysfunction of myeloid dendritic cells, for reasons that remain ill-defined. Soluble HLA class I molecules can have important inhibitory effects on T cells and NK cells, but may also contribute to ...

Development of endocytosis, degradative activity, and antigen processing capacity during GM-CSF driven differentiation of murine bone marrow. [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DC) are sentinels of the immune system, alerting and enlisting T cells to clear pathogenic threats. As such, numerous studies have demonstrated their effective uptake and proteolytic activities coupled with antigen processing and ...

Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Infiltration in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Increasing evidence has demonstrated that plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) play an important role in tumorigenesis and progression. PDC infiltration has been found in certain malignancies such as classic Hodgkin's lymphoma and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.

Myeloid dendritic cells in inclusion‐body myositis and polymyositis [PDF]
AbstractDendritic cells (DCs), immune system cells central to the development of immunity, have not previously been reported in muscle in inclusion‐body myositis (IBM). We performed immunohistochemical studies on muscle biopsy specimens from 50 patients using monoclonal antibodies that distinguish two classes of DCs, myeloid DC and plasmacytoid DC.

A transcriptomic approach for studying the activation of dendritic cells in response to mycobacterial infections [PDF]
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) is responsible for 2 million deaths annually. In recent years co-infection with HIV and drug-resistant strains has led to the increase in clinical cases of tuberculosis.

The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Myeloid Cells in Intact Human Cervical Explants Capture HIV and Can Transmit It to CD4 T Cells
The importance of myeloid cells in HIV transmission in the female genital tract is uncertain. Because it is difficult to study the early events in HIV transmission in humans, most of our knowledge is based on animal models of SIV infection in Rhesus ...

Positive and negative regulation of the myeloid dendritic cell lineage [PDF]
Abstract Recent advances have revealed that dendritic cells (DCs) are not a single cell type, but a system of cells that are phenotypically and functionally diverse. DC subtypes stemming from the myeloid and lymphoid lineages promote a diversity of immune responses ranging from the stimulation of naive T and B cell responses to the down ...

Characterization of Myeloid and Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells in Human Lung [PDF]
Abstract Dendritic cells (DCs) are bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells that play a central role in the initiation of immune responses. Because human lung DCs have been incompletely characterized, we enumerated and phenotyped mononuclear cell populations from excess lung tissue obtained at surgery.

BCG vaccination potentiates oxidative phosphorylation in neonatal myeloid‐derived suppressor cells
BCG vaccination enhances oxidative phosphorylation in neonatal MDSCs, impairing their immunosuppressive function. It upregulates electron transport chain genes and mitochondrial activity, increasing ATP and oxygen consumption. Pharmacological OXPHOS inhibition partially restores suppressive capacity, confirming causality.
