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.

Expression of PD-L1 on Monocytes Is a Novel Predictor of Prognosis in Natural Killer/T-Cell Lymphoma.

TL;DR: In this article, the expression of PD-L1 on stromal cells was measured in NKTert and HS5 cells when cultured alone or co-cultured with NKTCL cell lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

An efficient and simple co-culture method for isolating primary human hepatic cells: Potential application for tumor microenvironment research.

TL;DR: In the present study, high protein expression levels of desmin and GFAP were observed in the hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), which underlined the identity of activated HSCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Myeloid but not plasmacytoid blood DCs possess Th1 polarizing and Th1/Th17 recruiting capacity in psoriasis.

TL;DR: The results indicate that in psoriasis not only skin but also blood mDCs perform Th1 polarizing and Th1/Th17 recruiting capacity, while pDCs function only in the skin milieu.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Framework of All Discovered Immunological Pathways and Their Roles for Four Specific Types of Pathogens and Hypersensitivities

TL;DR: A new THαβ immunological pathway against viruses is proposed, derived from the traditional TH1 responses, which is associated with intracellular bacteria and protozoa.

The relationship between vitamin D status in early life and the developing immune phenotype: lessons from observational studies and a randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: The rapid rise in prevalence and coincidence with industrialisation indicates that changes in environment and lifestyle must be responsible for the epidemic proportions of allergic diseases in Westernized countries.

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.
