Targeting human Plasmacytoid dendritic cells through BDCA2 prevents inflammation and fibrosis in xenotransplant mouse model of Scleroderma
2020-01-30
Abstract excerpt
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Scleroderma (SSc) through their ability to infiltrate the skin and secrete interferons (IFN) and proinflammatory chemokines. Blood Dendritic Cells Antigen 2 (BDCA2) is an inhibitory type II C-type lectin expressed by human pDC. Here we determined the effects of BDCA2 internalisation on pDC mediated skin inflammation and fibrosis in huma...
