Designing oral vaccines targeting intestinal dendritic cells.
INTRODUCTION Most pathogens colonize and invade the host at mucosal surfaces, such as the lung and the intestine. To combat intestinal pathogens the induction of local adaptive immune responses is required, which is mainly achieved through oral vaccination. However, most vaccines are ineffective when given orally owing to the hostile environment in the gastrointestinal tract. The encapsulation ...
متن کاملDendritic 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...

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...

prestigious 2007 Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research for the discovery of dendritic cells. The award committee called him “a scientific sleuth, who without cloak and dagger, uncovered the intelligence-gathering component of our immune system—a monumental achievement in the 200-year history of immunology.” Dr. Steinman came to Baylor on September 20, 2007, as part of the celebration o...
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...
