C-type lectin receptors in the control of T helper cell differentiation

TBH Geijtenbeek, SI Gringhuis - Nature Reviews Immunology, 2016 - nature.com
Pathogen recognition by C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) expressed by dendritic cells is
important not only for antigen presentation, but also for the induction of appropriate adaptive …

Targeting dendritic cells: a promising strategy to improve vaccine effectiveness

C Macri, C Dumont, APR Johnston… - Clinical & translational …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library

Optimal generation of tissue-resident but not circulating memory T cells during viral infection requires crosspriming by DNGR-1+ dendritic cells

S Iborra, M Martínez-López, SC Khouili, M Enamorado… - Immunity, 2016 - cell.com
