Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent antigen-presenting cells. Because of their particular ability to
initiate and regulate cell mediated and humoral immune responses, there is considerable …

Pulmonary dendritic cells (DC) can induce both tolerogenic as well as inflammatory immune
responses in the lung. Conversely, little is known about the impact of ongoing airway …

Background Dendritic cells (DC) mediate inflammation in rodent models of allergic airway
disease, but the role played by human respiratory‐tract DC (hRTDC) in atopic asthma …

Exposure to cigarette smoke represents a major risk factor for the development of asthma.
Enhanced sensitization toward allergens has been observed in humans and laboratory …

Dendritic cells are essential for Th2 differentiation of naïve CD4+ T cells in response to
aeroallergens, and in recent years it has been well established that these cells play a pivotal …

Dendritic cells (DCs) lie at the heart of the innate immune system, specialised at recognising
danger signals in many forms including foreign material, infection or tissue damage and …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogenous population of antigen-presenting cells, of which
conventional DCs and plasmacytoid DCs are the main subsets. Like DC subsets in the …

Immunology Role of regulatory dendritic cells in allergy and asthma : Current Opinion in Allergy …

Rationale: Polysensitization of patients who are allergic is a common feature. The
underlying immunologic mechanism is not clear. The maturation status of dendritic cells …

Studies in mouse models of asthma have revealed a critical role for airway dendritic cells in
the induction of Th2 sensitization to inhaled allergens. Under some conditions, subsets of …
