Histamine Polarizes Human Dendritic Cells into Th2 Cell-Promoting Effector Dendritic Cells

Dopamine released by dendritic cells polarizes Th2 differentiation.

A major neurotransmitter dopamine transmits signals via five different seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors termed D1-D5. It is now evident that dopamine is released from leukocytes and acts as autocrine or paracrine immune modulator. However, the role of dopamine for dendritic cells (DCs) and T(h) differentiation remains unclear. We herein demonstrate that human monocyte-derived den...

In-vitro Transcribed mRNA Delivery Using PLGA/PEI Nanoparticles into Human Monocyte-derived Dendritic Cells

Induction of protein synthesis by the external delivery of in-vitro transcription-messenger RNA (IVT-mRNA) has been a useful approach in the realm of cell biology, disease treatment, ‎reprogramming of cells, and vaccine design. Therefore, the development of new formulations for ‎protection of mRNA against nucleases is required to maintain its activity in-vivo. It was the aim o...

Dendritic Cells in Transplant Tolerance

Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous family of professional APCs involved in priming adaptive immune responses. Donor DCs (direct pathway of allorecognition) and recipient DCs presenting processed donor major histocompatibility complex (MHC) as peptides (indirect pathway of allorecognition) participate actively in graft rejection by stimulating recipient T cell responses following organ tr...
