conclusions artemisia absinthium l. extract, at concentrations below 100 µg/ml, can modulate the immune response toward a th1 pattern, by induction of cd40 expression on dcs and cytokine production. also, it can inhibit dcs t cell stimulating activity, at high concentrations. therefore, the traditional use of this plant possibly modulates immune-mediated disorders. however, future studies are n...

background: dendritic cells (dcs) play a central role in the initiation and expansion of t cell mediated immune responses with potential immunotherapy application. the compounds which have the ability to induce immunomodulatory effects on dcs may be employed for the treatment of immunopathologic conditions such as autoimmune diseases. objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the in v...
