This report describes a recurrent sarcoma involving the soft tissues of the posterior mediastinum with features of both follicular dendritic and interdigitating dendritic cells. Histologically, the tumour, which was a recurrent neoplasm 19 years after the initial removal, was composed of bland spindle shaped cells with interspersed inflammatory cells, predominantly lymphocytes. Immunohistochemi...

Because of their unsurpassed potency in presenting antigens to naive T cells, dendritic cells are considered to be an important candidate in the development of immunotherapeutic strategies. Despite the high potential of dendritic cell-based immunotherapy, as a so-called dendritic cell vaccination, few clinical approaches using dendritic cell vaccination have been performed in the dog because of...

OBJECTIVE Although dendritic cells are known to play a role in atherosclerosis, few studies have examined the contribution of the wide variety of dendritic cell subsets. Accordingly, their roles in atherogenesis remain largely unknown. We investigated the ability of different dendritic cell subsets to become foam cells after contact with aggregated low-density lipoprotein (LDL; the predominant ...

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...

Skin immune system is composed of specialized cells that plays an important role in skin homeostasis and protection against injury. Among these cells, Langerhans macrophages are key elements both the innate adaptive response. In epidermal compartment, (LCs) immature dendritic involved antigen presentation to T Cells whereas dermal tissue resident professional phagocytes. Under inflammatory cont...

To maintain an immunological balance and intact skin barrier a number of highly specialized immune cells shape anti-inflammatory pro-type 2 environment that can rapidly expel entrap multicellular pathogens, neutralize toxins support wound healing. Previous research has shown KLF4-expressing dendritic are drivers enhanced type immunity responsive the TSLP 1 interferon signaling. Single-cell prof...

It is well known that the activation of innate immune cells, especially antigen-presenting cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells, can ameliorate or exacerbate various diseases, including cancer. Currently, the macrophages and dendritic cells are categorized into several groups by their cell surface and intracellular molecules. However, the detailed classification of the differences betw...

Dendritic cells are central to the early events of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transmission, but HIV-1 infects dendritic cells inefficiently in vitro compared to activated CD4(+) T cells. There is a strong postentry restriction of HIV-1 infection in dendritic cells, partly mediated by the cellular restriction factor APOBEC3G. Here, we reveal that arsenic trioxide markedly increa...
