Dendritic cell function in the host response toHelicobacter pyloriinfection of the gastric mucosa

Abstract excerpt

Dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role as antigen-presenting cells that direct the nature of the adaptive immune response. Subtypes are differentiated by lineage, tissue, marker expression and function. Their function in promoting regulatory T cells in the gut to maintain immunologic homeostasis is well documented, but their role in the Helicobacter pylori-infected stomach is less clear. Some analyses of...
