Dendritic cells at the oral mucosal interface.
The mucosal lining of the respiratory and digestive systems contains the largest and most complex immune system in the body, but surprisingly little is known of the immune system that serves the oral mucosa. This review focuses on dendritic cells, particularly powerful arbiters of immunity, in response to antigens of microbial or tumor origin, but also of tolerance to self-antigens and commensa...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin responses at the mucosal interface.
Mucosal surfaces are colonized by large communities of commensal bacteria and represent the primary site of entry for pathogenic agents. To prevent microbial intrusion, mucosal B cells release large amounts of immunoglobulin (Ig) molecules through multiple follicular and extrafollicular pathways. IgA is the most abundant antibody isotype in mucosal secretions and owes its success in frontline i...
متن کاملEpithelial crosstalk at the microbiota-mucosal interface.
This article provides an overview of how intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) recognize commensals and how they maintain host-bacterial symbiosis. Endocrine, goblet cells, and enterocytes of the intestinal epithelium express a range of pattern recognition receptors (PRR) to sense the presence of microbes. The best characterized are the Toll-like receptors (TLR) and nucleotide oligomerization domai...
متن کاملDendritic cells in distinct oral mucosal tissues engage different mechanisms to prime CD8+ T cells.
Although oral dendritic cells (DCs) were shown to induce cell-mediated immunity, the identity and function of the various oral DC subsets involved in this process is unclear. In this study, we examined the mechanisms used by DCs of the buccal mucosa and of the lining mucosa to elicit immunity. After plasmid DNA immunization, buccally immunized mice generated robust local and systemic CD8(+) T c...
متن کاملInitial HIV mucosal infection and dendritic cells
» DCs thus represent an ideal vehicle to be hijacked by HIV to gain transport to T cells. « HIV hijacks the body’s immune system to have itself delivered to T cells in which it can explosively replicate. It does this partly by subverting the function of various types of dendritic cells (DCs) that are present in many of the tissues exposed to the external environment. To date, however, it has be...
