Characterization of murine lung dendritic cells: similarities to Langerhans cells and thymic dendritic cells
Dendritic cells (DC) are potent accessory cells (AC) for the initiation of primary immune responses. Although murine lymphoid DC and Langerhans cells have been extensively characterized, DC from murine lung have been incompletely described. We isolated cells from enzyme-digested murine lungs and bronchoalveolar lavages that were potent stimulators of a primary mixed lymphocyte response (MLR). T...
متن کاملDendritic Cells in Transplant Tolerance
Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous family of professional APCs involved in priming adaptive immune responses. Donor DCs (direct pathway of allorecognition) and recipient DCs presenting processed donor major histocompatibility complex (MHC) as peptides (indirect pathway of allorecognition) participate actively in graft rejection by stimulating recipient T cell responses following organ tr...
متن کاملImmunohistological characterization of thymic dendritic cells.
BACKGROUND Dendritic cells play key roles in thymic histophysiology and histopathology. Therefore, we analyzed the immunotopographical distribution of cells expressing markers of dendritic cells and macrophages in postnatal human thymus. MATERIALS AND METHODS The streptavidin-biotin peroxidise-labeled (LSAB) and the double-LSAB/alkaline phosphatase/anti-alkaline phosphatase (APAAP) immunohist...
متن کاملHemozoin Enhances Maturation of Murine Bone Marrow Derived Macrophages and Myeloid Dendritic Cells
Background: Falciparum malaria is a severe health burden worldwide. Antigen presenting cells are reported to be affected by erythrocytic stage of the parasite. Malarial hemozoin (HZ), a metabolite of malaria parasite, has adjuvant properties and may play a role in the induction of immune response against the parasite. Objective: To determine the immunological impact of hemozoin on the capacity ...
متن کاملmorphological and cytochemical characteristics of purified murine splenic dendritic cells
dendritic cells function as the main cellular population responsible for professional antigen presentation and hence for induction of primary immune responses. although they are present in virtually every tissue, nevertheless their number is usually so low that it makes their isolation for studies very difficult. in this study, we purified dendritic cells from mouse spleen by a three-step enric...
