Immunobiology of Dendritic Cells

TL;DR: Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells with a unique ability to induce primary immune responses and may be important for the induction of immunological tolerance, as well as for the regulation of the type of T cell-mediated immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI

GM-CSF and TNF-α cooperate in the generation of dendritic Langerhans cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cooperation between GM-CSF and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is crucial for the generation of human dendritic/Langerhans cells from CD34+ haematopoietic progenitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective Recruitment of Immature and Mature Dendritic Cells by Distinct Chemokines Expressed in Different Anatomic Sites

TL;DR: The observation that CCR6 mRNA expression decreases progressively as DCs mature, whereas CCR7 mRNA expression is sharply upregulated, provides a likely explanation for the changes in chemokine responsiveness, and suggests a role for MIP-3α/CCR6 in recruitment of immature DCs at site of injury and for Mip-3β/CCr7 in accumulation of antigen-loaded mature DCs in T cell–rich areas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of human dendritic cells through CD40 cross-linking.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that dendritic Langerhans cells (D-Lc) generated by culturing cord blood CD34+ progenitor cells with granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) express functional CD40 at a density higher than that found on B cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors from human cord blood differentiate along two independent dendritic cell pathways in response to GM-CSF+TNF alpha.

TL;DR: The present study demonstrates that cord blood CD34+ HPC indeed differentiate along two independent DC pathways, and demonstrates that different pathways of DC development exist: the Langerhans cells and the CD14(+)-derived DC related to dermal DC or circulating blood DC.
