Abstract:setts General Hospital. RATIONALE: Dendritic cells (DCs) are innate immune sentinels. Upon encounter with pathogens, they mature and migrate to draining lymph nodes (dLNs), where they can initiate adaptive immune responses. The process by which Th2 immunogens lead to this response is unclear. We recently showed that Th2-skewing CD301b + DCs upregulate CCR8 after allergen stimulation in na€ ıve mice, which was required for DCs entry into the dLN parenchyma and subsequent Th2 responses. This was dependent on pro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
