Antigen presentation: Influence of Cell Type and Route of Antigen Uptake
<p>Dendritic cells (DCs), which maintain tolerance and orchestrate T cell immune responses, comprise a heterogeneous group of cells. For example, in the steady state, murine spleen contains pre-DC-derived CD8+DEC-205+ and CD8-DCIR2+ conventional DCs. To examine antigen processing and presentation …

DENDRITIC CELLS IN A MURINE MODEL OF BREAST CANCER: FUNCTIONAL AND PHENOTYPIC EVALUATION USING NANOPARTICLES
… models reported that tumoral antigens-loaded DCs can induce therapeutic and protective anti-tumour immune responses, both in vitro and in vivo. These results provide an evidence of the possible use of DCs as vaccines. However, the efficacy of such therapeutic vaccination was recently …

THE PERCEPTION OF MUSIC THERAPY BY DIRECT CARE STAFF OF OLDER ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL APPROACH
… Participants (N=5) were direct care staff (DCS) over age 18, either currently working or formerly worked as DCS at Cottonwood Retirement, and observed a minimum of one music therapy session with their client(s). Participants shared their experiences in individual 60-minute semi-structured …

Immunohistochemical Study of Phenotypes of Dendritic Cells in Dental Pulps from Non-Carious and Carious Teeth
Mature dendritic cells (DCs) in inflamed tissues may promote inflammation but the status of DCs in pulpitis is not known. We hypothesized that DC maturation would correlate with carious lesion depth and that CD4+ cells would be found in association with mature DCs. Pulps were collected from teeth …

TLR3 Signaling in Human BDCA-3 Dendritic Cells Results in the Formation of Several ILT3 and ILT4 Populations
<p>Dendritic cells (DCs) represent a population of innate immune cells that are highly efficient at promoting immune responses. DCs are capable of presenting antigens to both CD4 and CD8 T cells. DC presentation and interaction with T cells can result in either immune stimulation or tolerance. This …

Reprogramming the immune environment in breast cancer via dendritic cells.
… induce expression of OX40L on dendritic cells (DCs). OX40L⁺ DCs are found in primary breast tumor infiltrates. OX40L⁺ DCs drive development of inflammatory Th2 cells producing interleukin 13 and tumor necrosis factor in vitro. Antibodies neutralizing TSLP or OX40L inhibit breast tumor growth and …

Investigating The Role of Quaking In Antigen Uptake and Cross-Presentation By Dendritic Cells
<p>Dendritic cells (DCs) are considered the most potent antigen presenting cells (APC) due to their superior capability of cross-presenting exogenous antigens to CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell for strong adaptive immune responses. They internalize foreign antigens by phagocytosis, endocytosis or …
