Dendritic cells (DC) are potent antigen presenting cells that display an extraordinary
capacity to present antigen to naïve T‐cells and initiate primary immune responses. In the …

Increasing evidence points to the role of antigen-presenting dendritic cells (DC) in regulating
adaptive immune responses. DC are especially sensitive to signals derived from microbes …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial in determining the outcome of antigen encounter and
integrating signals derived from the antigen, its inflammatory context, and the host …

Dendritic cells (DCs) may play a pivotal role in the initiation and establishment of chronic T-
helper cell (Th)-2 mediated lung inflammation as seen in asthma. Current in vitro data …

The role of dendritic cells (DC s) in airway allergy has been studied for 15 years; recent data
has highlighted the cross talk with airway epithelial cells and environmental factors …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are primary antigen-presenting cells involved in interactions with T
cells leading to the proliferation of TH1 or TH2 cell types. In asthma, predominance of TH2 …

The lung is continuously exposed to inhaled particles, microbes and harmless antigens to
which either immunity or tolerance is induced. Dendritic cells are mainly recognized for their …

The large quantities and complex mixtures of antigens encountered daily at airway mucosal
and alveolar surfaces pose a major challenge to maintenance of immunological …

BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial for the induction of immunity and
tolerance. Despite an improved understanding of the DC-mediated control of TH1-biased …
