Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial for mounting allergic airway inflammation, but it is unclear
which subset of DCs performs this task. By using CD64 and MAR-1 staining, we reliably …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a progressive lung disease characterized
by sustained neutrophilic airway inflammation, is caused by chronic exposure to noxious …

BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells within the human respiratory mucosa (RTDCs) are proposed
to initiate immune responses to foreign antigens. Their capacity to polarize T-cell responses …

Background and objective Previous studies have demonstrated that our recombinant bacille
C almette‐G uerin (rBCG), which expresses D er p2 in house dust mite (D er p2 rBCG) …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are mainly known for their capacity to induce primary immune
responses. Here, we propose that DCs are similarly essential for controlling effector T-cell …

Although several studies have demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells derived from
adipose tissue (ASCs) can ameliorate allergic airway inflammation, the immunomodulatory …

The pathways underlying dendritic cell (DC) activation in allergic asthma are incompletely
understood. Here we demonstrate that adoptive transfer of ovalbumin-pulsed wild-type (wt) …

Airway epithelial cells (AEC) and dendritic cells (DC) are situated in close proximity within
the airway epithelium, and are the first cells to encounter inhaled pathogens, allergens and …

Background Epidemiologic and clinical observations identify obesity as an important risk
factor for asthma exacerbation, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are ideally placed in the airways and lungs to capture inhaled
allergens. Different subsets of DCs perform different tasks. Migratory conventional DCs …
