Aspects of Langerhans cells and TNF-α in the cutaneous immunity of anogenital warts

An. bras. dermatol; 95 (2), 2020
Abstract Background: Anogenital warts are the leading sexually transmitted infection in patients seeking care at specialized clinics. They may display a vast array of forms, according to the interaction of the virus with the host's immunity. Cellular immunity is the epithelium's main form of defense aga...

Las células dendríticas plasmacitoides evocan la respuesta efectora de los linfocitos T citotóxicos específicos para Salmonella

Biomédica (Bogotá); 39 (supl.2), 2019
Resumen Introducción. La función inmunológica de las células dendríticas plasmacitoides durante las infecciones bacterianas, como la de Salmonella spp., es poco conocida. En ese contexto, se analizó su función efectora para presentar antígenos de Salmonella Typhimurium ante linfocitos T citotóx...

Smoking promotes exacerbated inflammatory features in dendritic cells of Chilean rheumatoid arthritis patients

Rev. méd. Chile; 146 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT Background: The dual potential to promote tolerance or inflammation when facing self-antigens makes dendritic cells (DCs) fundamental players in autoimmunity. There is an association between smoking and DCs maturation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, ethnicity is a key facto...

Dendritic cells and their relation to apical peridontitis

Braz. oral res. (Online); 32 (supl.1), 2018
Abstract: The purpose of this manuscript was to re-discuss apical periodontitis, apical biofilm, and its possible relationship with dendritic cells (DC). DCs are potent regulators of the immune system and their function is divided into three categories that involve the presentation of antigens: the prese...

Generation of potent cytotoxic T lymphocytes against in male patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer by dendritic cells loaded with dying T24 bladder cancer cells

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT Background In order to induce a potent cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response in dendritic cell (DC)-based immunotherapy for bladder cancer, various tumor antigens can be loaded onto DCs. Objective The aim of this study was to establish a method of immunotherapy for male patients with non-mus...

Papel de las células dendríticas en la infección por el virus dengue: blancos de replicación y respuesta inmune

Rev. chil. infectol; 34 (3), 2017
Dengue fever, caused by dengue virus (DENV) infection, is one of the most important diseases in the world, not only due to the high morbidity/mortality rates it causes, but also because of its great economic and social impact in tropical/subtropical countries. DENV infection has a wide range of clinical ...

Vacunas terapéuticas antitumorales basadas en células dendríticas
Dendritic cell-based therapeutic cancer vaccines

Medicina (B.Aires); 76 (5), 2016
En los últimos años la inmunoterapia ha revolucionado el tratamiento de pacientes con cáncer avanzado. El mayor conocimiento de la biología tumoral y de la inmunología ha permitido desarrollar tratamientos racionales manipulando el sistema inmunitario con importante impacto clínico. Entre otras est...

Rol de la microbiota gastrointestinal en la regulación de la respuesta inmune

Rev. méd. Chile; 144 (7), 2016
The gastrointestinal tract hosts around 10(14) bacterial microorganisms, in a constantly growing density from the stomach to the distal colon. This microbiota is composed by more than 500 species of bacteria, which are quickly acquired after birth, fairly stable during the host’s life, and essential for...

Chemokine receptor 7 implications of spleen dendritic cells in multiple-organ dysfunction syndrome in mice

West Indian med. j; 62 (9), 2013
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) expression of spleen dendritic cells (DCs) and their role in the changes of migration and activity of spleen DCs in multiple-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). METHODS: The MODS model of mice was reproduced. The mice were randomly assi...
