Abstract excerpt

Dendritic cells (DCs) are essential in the development and regulation of the immune response (IR). The inherent potential of DCs to induce a specific immune response in the neonatal period is controversial. It has been suggested that the specific IR in neonates depends on the quantitative relation of DC/T lymphocytes, as well as on the neonatal or adult age at which the interaction antigen/DC/T lymphocytes...
