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.

Dendritic Cells Currently under the Spotlight; Classification and Subset Based upon New Markers.

TL;DR: This review focus on the most common subsets of DCs in human, generally separated into the blood and cutaneous subsets, mainly because these parts are more comfortable to examine in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vaccine-Induced CD8+ T Cell Responses in Children: A Review of Age-Specific Molecular Determinants Contributing to Antigen Cross-Presentation.

TL;DR: A review of the literature pertaining to the frequency and phenotype of newborn and infant CD8+ T cells, and any evidence of induction of T cells by currently licensed pediatric vaccine formulations can be found in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interferon-α-Induced Dendritic Cells Generated with Human Platelet Lysate Exhibit Elevated Antigen Presenting Ability to Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential ability of human platelet lysate (HPL) to produce interferon-α-induced dendritic cells (IFN-DCs) was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of the immune response of human dendritic cells to Mycobacterium tuberculosis by quantitative proteomics.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the highly-expressed CD13 is also associated with proteins involved in the antigen presenting process, especially with CD1 proteins, as well as in the pathogenesis of M. tuberculosis.
Book ChapterDOI

Dendritic Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses various aspects of DC development and function and discusses how various tumor microenvironments can affect DC development, function, and migration, thus evading a strong adaptive immune response.

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.
