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 …

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 …

The role of dendritic cells (DC) in the pathogenesis of allergic asthma and rhinitis has been
highlighted for 15 years. In this review, we summarize key findings concerning DC function …

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the role of conventional and plasmacytoid dendritic cells in inducing
and modulating immune responses in the lung. DATA SOURCES: The primary literature and …

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 aim of this study was to investigate whether dendritic cells (DCs) can induce
sensitization to aeroallergen in a mouse model of allergic asthma. Ovalbumin-pulsed (OVA …

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) are generally held responsible for initiating and maintaining allergic T
helper 2 (TH2)-cell responses to inhaled allergens in asthma. Although the epithelium was …

Aeroallergen provocation induces the rapid accumulation of CD11c+ MHC class II (MHC II)+
dendritic cells (DCs) in the lungs, which is driven by an increased recruitment of blood …
