Distinct Responses of Lung and Spleen Dendritic Cells to the TLR9 Agonist CpG Oligodeoxynucleotide
1 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DCs) sense various components of invading pathogens via pattern recognition receptors such as TLRs. CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs), which mimic bacterial DNA, inhibit allergic airways disease and promote responses in the spleen to bacterial components. Because many TLR agonists are currently being tested for potential therapeutic effects, it is important to characterize the expression and...
