BACKGROUND: Airway dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial for allergen-induced sensitization
and inflammation in allergic asthma. After allergen challenge, an increased number of DCs …

Asthma is characterized by chronic eosinophilic inflammation of the airways, and allergen-
specific Th2 lymphocytes are thought to play a major role in the development and …

Dendritic cells (DC) mediate airway Ag presentation and play key roles in asthma and
infections. Although DC subsets are known to perform different functions, their occurrence in …

APCs, including dendritic cells (DC), are central to Ag surveillance in the respiratory tract
(RT). Research in this area is dominated by mouse studies on purportedly representative RT …

Dendritic cells (DC) have a central role in the initiation of adequate immune responses. They
recognize pathogens by means of Toll-like receptors (TLR) and link innate to adaptive …

BACKGROUND: IL-10 affects dendritic cell (DC) function, but the effects on airway
hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and inflammation are not defined. OBJECTIVE: We sought to …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are leukocytes specialised in the uptake, processing, and presentation
of antigen and fundamental in regulating both innate and adaptive immune functions. They …

The interactions between dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells determine the fate of an immune
response to pathogenic microbes and to harmless allergens alike. The interactions between …

Research in a variety of experimental animal species and in humans has identified dendritic
cells (DCs) as the principal resident antigen presenting cells in respiratory tract tissues. The …

Neuroimmune interactions play a critical role in the pathogenesis of asthma. Symptoms like
wheezing and cough have been attributed to neural dysregulation, whereas sensitization …
