Langerhans cells (LCs) have long been considered to be the major sensitizing cells in the
skin by initiating productive immunity in naive resting T cells. This picture has changed over …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are key antigen-presenting cells that express a wide variety of pattern-
recognition receptors (PRRs). Triggering of a single PRR, especially Toll-like receptors …

Seminal plasma is not just a carrier for spermatozoa. It contains high concentrations of
cytokines, chemokines, and other biological compounds that are able to exert potent effects …

A common route for HIV-1 infection is sexual transmission across colorectal mucosa, which
is thought to be 10–2,000 times more vulnerable to infection than that of the female genital …

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), having both multi-potent differentiation potential
and prominent immunomodulatory properties, are seen as a very powerful tool for the …

The capacity for human monocytes to differentiate into antigen-presenting dendritic cells
(DC) can be influenced by a number of immune modulating signals. Monocytes express …

Inflammatory dendritic cells (DCs) are a distinct subset of DCs that derive from circulating
monocytes infiltrating injured tissues. Monocytes can differentiate into DCs with different …

Langerhans cells (LCs) represent a highly specialized subset of epidermal dendritic cells
(DCs), yet not fully understood in their function of balancing skin immunity. Here, we …

We examined the inhibitory effect of a histamine 4 receptor (H4R) antagonist (JNJ7777120)
on CCL17 and CCL22 chemokine production by human monocyte‐derived Langerhans …

Human infections involving yeast of the genus Candida often occur in the presence of
bacteria, and, as such, it is important to understand how these bacteria influence innate host …
