mesenchymal stem cells can be obtained from deferent tissues like adipose tissue, umbilical cord, placenta, skin, bone marrow, etc. these cells have regulatory effects on all types of immune cells such as dendritic cell, natural killers and lymphocytes. mesenchymal stem cells induce inhibitory phenotypes of antigen presenting cells (apcs) following their activity. they also change t cells pheno...

background: the langerhans cells (lcs) are dendritic cells (dcs) which belong to the group of antigen presenting cells (apcs). their function is to recognize the antigen, capture it, and present it to the t lymphocytes; thus initiating an early immune response. the antigen presenting functional lcs may play an important part in initiation and development of gingivitis. the aim of this study was...

Antigen presentation is a key feature of classical dendritic cells (cDCs). Numerous studies have also reported in mouse that, upon inflammation, monocytes enter tissues and differentiate into monocyte-derived DCs (mo-DC) that the ability to present antigens T cells. However, population inflammatory cDCs sharing phenotypic features with mo-DC has been recently described, challenging existence vi...

Dendritic cells are cells specialized for antigen capture, migration and T cell stimulation. Recent advances have been made in understanding their origin, their heterogeneity, the mechanism of antigen uptake, and the signals that induce their migration and maturation into immunostimulatory antigen-presenting cells. Dendritic cells represent the natural adjuvants for T cell responses and their t...
