Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells able to induce immunity or tolerance. The interactions of immature DCs with naive T lymphocytes induce peripheral tolerance through mechanisms that include anergy or deletion of lymphocytes or the generation of regulatory T cells. Because of the central role of DCs in the immune response, they are potential targets for the induction of...
