CD 8 mouse spleen dendritic cells do not originate from the CD 8 dendritic cell subset

چکیده
Although previous studies had indicated that the CD8 and CD8 subtypes of murine dendritic cells (DCs) differ in immediate origin, a recent study found that intravenous transfer of CD8 DCs led to CD8 DCs in the spleen several days later, suggesting a direct precursorproduct relationship. We have repeated these experiments with a balance sheet approach. We find that though a few CD8 DCs can be generated in such experiments, this is a rare event and could be the result of a contaminant precursor. Most of the immediate precursors of CD8 DCs are cells that lack the phenotype of a recognizable DC. CD8 DCs and CD8 DCs are not precursor-product related, though these sublineages may be connected further upstream. (Blood. 2003;102:601-604)

Evaluation of the Immunomodulatory Effect of Curdlan on Maturation and Function of Mouse Spleen-Derived Dendritic Cells
Background: T helper 1 and T helper 17 cells play important roles in immunity against foreign invaders. Differentiation of these Th subsets is affected by state of maturation and cytokines that are produced by dendritic cells (DCs). Curdlan is a linear (1→3)-β- glucan and has shown activity against tumors and infectious agents. Objective: This study aims to investigate whether curdlan plays its...

Background and purpose: Dendritic cells are professional antigen presenting cells that initiate and modulate immune responses. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is identified as a prophylactic agent that can suppress tumor formation. This research aimed at investigating the effect of EGCG on differentiation of dendritic cells from monocytes and as a potential substitute for IL-4 in this process. ...

Background & Aim: Tolerance to the semi-allogenic fetal graft by the maternal immune system is a medical enigma that has stimulated investigations for a half of century. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the tolerance of mother to the fetus. The successful pregnancy is proposed and proved by many scientists to be a Th2 dominant phenomenon. This hypothesis is proved in most as...
