Bone marrow dendritic cells deficient for CD40 and IL-23p19 are tolerogenic in vitro
Objective(s): In addition to pro-inflammatory role, dendritic cells (DCs) can also be anti-inflammatory when they acquire tolerogenic phenotype. In this study we tested the role of CD40 and IL-23p19 in antigen presenting function of bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs) by comparing BMDCs derived from CD40 knockout (CD40KO-DCs) and IL-23p19 (IL-23p19KO-DCs) knockout mice wit...
متن کاملQuantum Dots for Tracking Dendritic Cells and Priming an Immune Response In Vitro and In Vivo
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a key role in initiating adaptive immune response by presenting antigen to T cells in lymphoid organs. Here, we investigate the potential of quantum dots (QDs) as fluorescent nanoparticles for in vitro and in vivo imaging of DCs, and as a particle-based antigen-delivery system to enhance DC-mediated immune responses. We used confocal, two-photon, and electron microsco...

variety of positive as well as negative regulatory signals are provided by antigen presenting cell in particular by dendritic cells. in this research, we studied the capacity of dendritic cells to expand antigen-specific t regulatory cells.we also investigated the role of tgf-beta in induction inhibitory functions of dendritic cells in mixed leukocyte reactions. dendritic cells were generated f...
متن کاملDendritic 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...
متن کاملEffect of Cytomegalovirus Recombinant Phosphoprotein 150 (pp150) on Function and Maturation of Murine Dendritic Cells: an In-Vitro Study
Background: Tegument protein pp150 of cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) plays a vital role in all stages of viral life cycle, representing the most important tegument protein candidate for HCMV treatment. However, the exact role of pp150 in immune regulation is yet to be elucidated. Objective: To examine the effects of pp150 on the maturity and function of muri...
