TLDR
It is proposed that the capacity of contact allergens to directly induce proinflammatory signals in the skin is of relevance and perhaps essential for elicitation of clinically manifest CHS responses.

Reactive oxygen species, antioxidants, and the mammalian thioredoxin system.

TL;DR: The TrxR-catalyzed regeneration of several antioxidant compounds, including ascorbic acid (vitamin C), selenium-containing substances, lipoic acid, and ubiquinone are summarized.

Skin immune sentinels in health and disease

TL;DR: This Review focuses on recent progress in dissecting the functional role of skin immune cells in skin disease and newly identified CD103+ dendritic cells are strategically positioned for cross-presentation of skin-tropic pathogens.

T-cell co-stimulation through B7RP-1 and ICOS

TL;DR: A new murine co-stimulatory receptor–ligand pair is described that is structurally related to CD28–B7 and is involved in the adaptive immune response and defined as B7RP-1, which exhibits co- Stimulation activities in vitro and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

CCL27-CCR10 interactions regulate T cell-mediated skin inflammation.

TL;DR: It is reported that most skin-infiltrating lymphocytes in patients suffering from psoriasis, atopic or allergic-contact dermatitis express CCR10, indicating that CCL27–CCR10 interactions have a pivotal role in T cell–mediated skin inflammation.

Immune surveillance in the skin: mechanisms and clinical consequences

TL;DR: The interaction between the innate and adaptive immune systems in the skin as a model for immune function at epithelial-cell interfaces with the environment is discussed.

Keratinocytes as initiators of inflammation

TL;DR: The direct activation of keratinocytes, with their ability to produce the complete repertoire of pro-inflammatory cytokines, can profoundly influence endogenous and recruited immunocompetent cells, thereby providing the critical trigger responsible for the swift and clinically dramatic alterations that occur following contact between the epidermis and a host of "noxious" agents.

Early molecular events in the induction phase of contact sensitivity

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Langerhans cell-derived and certain keratinocyte-derived cytokine mRNAs are selectively upregulated by allergens in the very early afferent phase of contact sensitivity.

Regulation of Langerhans cell function by nerves containing calcitonin gene-related peptide

TL;DR: It is reported here that C GRP-containing nerve fibres are intimately associated with LC in human epidermis and CGRP is found at the surface of some LC and these findings indicate that CGRp may have immunomodulatory effects in vivo and suggest a locus of interaction between the nervous system and immunological function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presentation of exogenous protein antigens by dendritic cells to T cell clones. Intact protein is presented best by immature, epidermal Langerhans cells.

TL;DR: The results suggest that dendritic cells in nonlymphoid tissues like skin can act as sentinels for presenting antigens in situ, their accessory function developing in two phases.

An essential role for Langerhans cell-derived IL-1 beta in the initiation of primary immune responses in skin.

TL;DR: The data indicate that dendritic cell-derived IL-1 beta may be a critical molecule required for initiation of primary immune responses in skin.
