Abstract excerpt
Tolerogenic dendritic cells represent a promising immunotherapy in autoimmunity. However, the molecular mechanisms that drive tolerogenic DCs functions are not well understood. We used GM-CSF or GM-CSF+IL-4 to generate tolerogenic (GM/DCs) and immunogenic (IL-4/DCs) BMDCs from NOD mice, respectively. GM/DCs were resistant to maturation, produced large amounts of IL-10 but not IL-12p70. GM/DCs displayed a reduced...
