TLDR
Comparative studies are now allowing many of these properties of Dendritic cells to be more fully understood in the context of human immunology.
Abstract
Dendritic cells are highly adapted to their role of presenting antigen and directing immune responses. Developmental studies indicate that DCs originate independently from monocytes and tissue macrophages. Emerging evidence also suggests that distinct subsets of DCs have intrinsic differences that lead to functional specialisation in the generation of immunity. Comparative studies are now allowing many of these properties to be more fully understood in the context of human immunology.

Approaches to Mitigate the Unwanted Immunogenicity of Therapeutic Proteins during Drug Development.

TL;DR: It is concluded that mitigation strategies should be considered early in development for biotherapeutics based on the knowledge of existing clinical data for bitherapeutics and the immune response involved in the generation of these ADAs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alopecia areata: a review on diagnosis, immunological etiopathogenesis and treatment options

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a collapse of the immune privilege system, which can be found in some specific regions of the body, including the complete scalp, including eyelashes and eyebrows, or even the entire body.

Dendritic cells in humans--from fetus to adult.

TL;DR: An overview of the human immune system in the developing fetus and the adult is provided, with a focus on DC ontogeny and function during these discrete but intimately linked life stages.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Potential of Combining Tubulin-Targeting Anticancer Therapeutics and Immune Therapy.

TL;DR: The various effects of tubulin inhibitors on the activities of the body’s immune system are focused on, in the hope of paving the way to develop an effective cancer therapy by combining tubulin-targeting anticancer agents and immune therapy.

The nature of the principal type 1 interferon-producing cells in human blood.

TL;DR: Purified IPCs are here shown to be the CD4(+)CD11c- type 2 dendritic cell precursors (pDC2s), which produce 200 to 1000 times more IFN than other blood cells after microbial challenge and are thus an effector cell type of the immune system, critical for antiviral and antitumor immune responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proliferating dendritic cell progenitors in human blood.

TL;DR: Large numbers of DC progenitors are observed in cord blood and in adult blood from healthy donors, which should facilitate future studies of their Fc epsilon RI and CD4 receptors, and their use in stimulating T cell-mediated resistance to viruses and tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reciprocal Control of T Helper Cell and Dendritic Cell Differentiation

TL;DR: A negative feedback loop from the mature T helper cells may selectively inhibit prolonged TH1 or TH2 responses by regulating survival of the appropriate dendritic cell subset.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasmacytoid monocytes migrate to inflamed lymph nodes and produce large amounts of type I interferon.

TL;DR: Results, with the distinct cell phenotype, indicate that plasmacytoid monocytes represent a specialized cell lineage that enters inflamed lymph nodes at high endothelial venules, where it produces type I interferon.
