The skin is the outermost layer of the body with an extensive surface area of approximately
1· 8 m2, and is the first line of defence against a multitude of external pathogens and …

Dendritic cells are highly adapted to their role of presenting antigen and directing immune
responses. Developmental studies indicate that DCs originate independently from …

Dendritic cells (DC) are professional antigen sensing and presenting cells that link innate
and adaptive immunity. Within the DC population multiple subpopulations exist, each …

The ability of HIV-1 to use dendritic cells (DCs) for transport and to transfer virus to activated
T cells in the lymph node may be crucial in early HIV-1 pathogenesis. We have …

Animal models of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation have been used to analyze the
turnover of bone marrow–derived cells and to demonstrate the critical role of recipient …

As the most potent antigen presenting cells, dendritic cells (DCs) play key roles in the
immune response against tumors. Their density in the tumor tissue has been associated with …

Intact human pregnancy can be regarded as an immunological paradox in that the maternal
immune system accepts the allogeneic embryo without general immunosuppression …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous group of functionally specialized antigen-
presenting cells that initiate and orchestrate immune responses. Our understanding of DC …

Objectives: To study the distribution of HIV-1 receptors and degree of keratinization in the
human penis. Design: Formalin-fixed penises were obtained from nine uncircumcised …

Dendritic cells (DCs) initiate and direct immune responses. Recent studies have defined
different DC populations, therefore we undertook this study comparing 2 types of myeloid …
