<p>Co-delivery of allergen epitope fragments and R848 inhibits food allergy by inducing tolerogenic dendritic cells and regulatory T cells</p>

Hepatocyte growth factor inhibits CNS autoimmunity by inducing tolerogenic dendritic cells and CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells.

Immune-mediated diseases of the CNS, such as multiple sclerosis and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE), are characterized by the activation of antigen-presenting cells and the infiltration of autoreactive lymphocytes within the CNS, leading to demyelination, axonal damage, and neurological deficits. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a pleiotropic factor known for both ...

Pharmacological induction of tolerogenic dendritic cells and regulatory T cells.

Immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory agents are able to generate tolerogenic DCs, leading, in some cases, to induction or enhancement of regulatory T cells with suppressive activity. This novel mechanism of action, shared by several immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory agents, is becoming firmly established and contributes to explain their functional properties. The possibility to manipul...

Development of Tolerogenic Dendritic Cells Differentiation by Suppressing the Midkine Inhibits Inducible Regulatory T Cell

How tolerogenic dendritic cells induce regulatory T cells.

Since their discovery by Steinman and Cohn in 1973, dendritic cells (DCs) have become increasingly recognized for their crucial role as regulators of innate and adaptive immunity. DCs are exquisitely adept at acquiring, processing, and presenting antigens to T cells. They also adjust the context (and hence the outcome) of antigen presentation in response to a plethora of environmental inputs th...

Tolerogenic Dendritic Cells for Regulatory T Cell Induction in Man

Dendritic cells (DCs) are highly specialized professional antigen-presenting cells that regulate immune responses, maintaining the balance between tolerance and immunity. Mechanisms via which they can promote central and peripheral tolerance include clonal deletion, the inhibition of memory T cell responses, T cell anergy, and induction of regulatory T cells (Tregs). These properties have led t...
