Dendritic cells capture, process and identify the tumour cells and create an 'alarm', or anticancer response, so that the body's T cells can destroy the cancer cells.
The team showed for the first time that both mature and immature
dendritic cells express isoforms of these receptors, I[P.
So it is probably the
dendritic cells that are stimulating the T cells.
Follicular
dendritic cell dedifferentiation by treatment with an inhibitor of the lymphotoxin pathway dramatically reduces scrapie susceptibility.
Circulating, interferon-producing plasmacytoid
dendritic cells decline during human aging.
One tissue is a
dendritic cell, which is important in stimulating immune reactions in humans.
Morphology, function and pathology of follicular
dendritic cells.
According to the Rockefeller University's studies, the
dendritic cells can be removed from the body in their inactive form, loaded with antigens and then re-infused and activated leading to an antigen specific immune response, including immune responses directed against cancer antigens.
Follicular
dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare neoplasm, characterized by a neoplastic proliferation of spindle cells to ovoid morphologic and immunophenotypic features of follicular
dendritic cells.
CLA researchers specifically studied how
dendritic cells, immune cells located at the site of infection, become more specialized to fight the leprosy pathogen known as Mycobacterium leprae.
Dendritic cells come into contact with other immune cells known as T cells, causing them to develop into different subsets of T cells, including helper 1 (Th1) and helper 2 (Th2) cells.
Some cell types, such as
dendritic cells, release go signals while they show the "attack dog" cells characteristic pieces of the cancer cells--much like letting a bloodhound sniff a fugitive's socks.
Follicular
dendritic cells are nonlymphoid, nonphagocytic accessory cells of the lymphoid system.
The patent provides expanded coverage for the company's single-pass perfusion technology to cover enhancing the biological functionality of human
dendritic cells produced in cell culture.
Despite accounting for only approximately 1 percent of circulating immune system cells,
dendritic cells are among the first such cells that encounter HIV following sexual or mother-to-child transmission of the virus by virtue of their position within the mucosa and throughout the body.
