Dendritic Cells Transduced With Lentiviral Vectors Expressing VIP Differentiate Into VIP-secreting Tolerogenic-like DCs
12 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DCs) initiate immune responses as well as tolerance. We showed previously that the neuropeptide vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) suppresses innate immune responses, modulates adaptive responses by generating regulatory T cells (Treg) through the induction of tolerogenic DCs (tDCs), and has therapeutic effects in models of autoimmune/inflammatory disorders. Systemic VIP administration is...
