Dendritic Cells in Autoimmune Diseases
Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen presenting cells, which play a crucial role both in maintaining immune tolerance and in inducing adaptive immune responses. Therefore, DCs are the most sought in inciting autoimmunity and its sustenance to autoimmune diseases. The emerging knowledge of the importance of DCs, DC-derived cytokines, and intracellular signal transduction pathways in me...
متن کاملInvolvement of dendritic cells in autoimmune diseases in children
Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells that are specialized in the uptake of antigens and their transport from peripheral tissues to the lymphoid organs. Over the last decades, the properties of DCs have been intensely studied and much knowledge has been gained about the role of DCs in various diseases and health conditions where the immune system is involved, particula...
متن کاملDendritic cells in autoimmune diseases and neuroinflammatory disorders.
Dendritic cells are the most potent antigen presenting cells and have long been recognized as key regulators of the immune system, linking both stimulatory and inhibitory components of normal immunity. While DCs are fully characterized with respect to primary and secondary immune responses, their unique role in coordinating central and peripheral tolerance is just emerging. It is increasingly e...
متن کاملDendritic Cell Immunotherapy in Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmunity is the result of failure of self-tolerance processes. When the immune system fails to differentiate self from foreign, the effector mechanisms are directed towards the individual’s own tissues, and pathological autoimmune disease results. Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that regulate immune responses. Mature DCs induce immunity that can be uti...
متن کاملB Cells in Autoimmune Diseases
The role of B cells in autoimmune diseases involves different cellular functions, including the well-established secretion of autoantibodies, autoantigen presentation and ensuing reciprocal interactions with T cells, secretion of inflammatory cytokines, and the generation of ectopic germinal centers. Through these mechanisms B cells are involved both in autoimmune diseases that are traditionall...
