Eosinophilic airway inflammation is orchestrated by T-helper (Th)-2 lymphocytes. We have
previously demonstrated that dendritic cells (DC) are essential for the presentation of …

Interactions between T cells and dendritic cells in the airway mucosa precede secondary
immune responses to inhaled antigen. The purpose of this study was to identify the …

Lung defences are dependant on a complex array of mechanisms in the upper airways,
which must to be differentiated from those of the distal airways. However, the first lines of …

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC s) are major type‐I interferon‐producing cells that play
important roles in antiviral immunity and tolerance induction. These cells share a common …

Evolution has provided two distinct and highly sophisticated defense mechanisms to human
beings for survival in a hostile environment. The innate immune system is aimed to react …

Several diseases of the airways have a strong component of allergic inflammation in their
cause, including allergic rhinitis, asthma, polypoid chronic rhinosinusitis, eosinophilic …

In rodents, airway dendritic cells (DCs) capture inhaled Ag, undergo maturation, and migrate
to the draining mediastinal lymph nodes (MLN) to initiate the Ag-specific T cell response …

Subsets of dendritic cells form a series of highly developed networks throughout the
respiratory tree, and represent the only professional antigen-presenting cells present within …

Induction of different types of adaptive immune responses depending on the nature of
antigens and the environmental context is crucial to cope with a variety of pathogens and …
