Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DCs) have been shown to express the tryptophan catabolizing enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO-1), a protein presently thought to exert dual and possibly contrasting effects on the immune response. Depletion of tryptophan and release of tryptophan catabolites have been shown to exert a tolerogenic influence on T cell responses, while the IDO enzymatic activity has been recently suggested to...
