TLDR
It is found that ligation of CD40 by CD40L triggers the production of extremely high levels of bioactive IL-12, which is the most potent stimulus in upregulating the expression of ICAM-1, CD80, and CD86 molecules on DCs.Abstract:
We investigated the possibility that T helper cells might enhance the stimulatory function of dendritic cells (DCs). We found that ligation of CD40 by CD40L triggers the production of extremely high levels of bioactive IL-12. Other stimuli such as microbial agents, TNF-alpha or LPS are much less effective or not at all. In addition, CD40L is the most potent stimulus in upregulating the expression of ICAM-1, CD80, and CD86 molecules on DCs. These effects of CD40 ligation result in an increased capacity of DCs to trigger proliferative responses and IFN-gamma production by T cells. These findings reveal a new role for CD40-CD40L interaction in regulating DC function and are relevant to design therapeutic strategies using cultured DCs.read more

The anti-allergic effects of lactic acid bacteria are strain dependent and mediated by effects on both Th1/Th2 cytokine expression and balance.
TL;DR: In vivo evaluation of individual strains in vivo revealed that after exposure to Lactobacillus paracasei KW3110 strain, the serum IgE elevation elicited by repeated OVA injection of mice was strongly inhibited, dependent upon the LAB strain rather than theLAB species.

The role of CD40/CD154 interactions in the priming, differentiation, and effector function of helper and cytotoxic T cells.
TL;DR: A model to explain why CD40/CD154 interactions are critical for some helper and cytotoxic T cell responses, whereas others occur independently of this receptor/ligand pair is suggested.

Human cytomegalovirus inhibits maturation and impairs function of monocyte-derived dendritic cells
TL;DR: It is shown that HCMV inhibits DC function, revealing a powerful viral strategy to delay or prevent the generation of virus-specific cytotoxic T cells.

TL;DR: DC express TLR2 and activation of this receptor by bLP provides an innate mechanism by which microbial pathogens preferentially activate cell-mediated immunity.

Interleukin‐35: odd one out or part of the family?
TL;DR: This review compares and contrast the biology of this expanded IL‐12 family and re‐evaluate data derived from the analysis of these dual cytokine‐deficient mice to discuss how the opposing characteristics of the IL‐ 12 family siblings may help to promote a balanced immune response.

Efficient presentation of soluble antigen by cultured human dendritic cells is maintained by granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor plus interleukin 4 and downregulated by tumor necrosis factor alpha.
TL;DR: Cultured DCs are as efficient as antigen-specific B cells in presenting tetanus toxoid (TT) to specific T cell clones and their efficiency of antigen presentation can be further enhanced by specific antibodies via FcR- mediated antigen uptake.

The dendritic cell system and its role in immunogenicity
TL;DR: Dendritic cells are specialized to mediate several physiologic components of immunogenicity such as the acquisition of antigens in tissues, the migration to lymphoid organs, and the identification and activation of antigen-specific T cells.

TL;DR: This regulatory pathway may have evolved to enable innate immune cells, through interactions with microbial pathogens, to direct development of specific immunity toward the appropriate TH1 phenotype.

Dendritic cells use macropinocytosis and the mannose receptor to concentrate macromolecules in the major histocompatibility complex class II compartment: downregulation by cytokines and bacterial products.
TL;DR: The capacity of DCs to capture and process antigen could be modulated by exogenous stimuli was investigated and it was found that DCs respond to tumor necrosis factor alpha, CD40 ligand, IL-1, and lipopolysaccharide with a coordinate series of changes that include downregulation of macropinocytosis and Fc receptors, disappearance of the class II compartment, and upregulation of adhesion and costimulatory molecules.

TL;DR: IL-12 and CD16+ cells appear to have inhibitory effects on the development of IL-4-producing cells and to play an inductive role in promoting Th1-like responses.
