Circulating myeloid and plasmacytoid dendritic cells after allergen inhalation in asthmatic subjects
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells are key contributors to initiation and maintenance of T-cell immunity to inhaled allergen. The purpose of this study was to enumerate the changes in peripheral blood myeloid (mDCs) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), the DCs expressing chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6) and chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7), following diluent and allergen inhalation in asthmatic subjects.
METHODS: Peripheral blood was obtained from 16 …
