Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Because of their production of IL-12, mature dendritic cells (DC) are potent inducers of T(H)1 responses. However, recent reports have demonstrated that DCs can also induce T(H)2 differentiation. OBJECTIVE: In the current study we investigated which immune response is induced by DCs in naive CD45RA(+) or memory CD45R0(+) CD4(+) T cells from atopic individuals (patients with grass pollen, birch pollen,...
