Distinct Functions of Specialized Dendritic Cell Subsets in Atherosclerosis and the Road Ahead by Alma Zernecke

“…Dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells are present within atherosclerotic lesions and function as central players in the initiation and modulation of adaptive immune responses. In previous years, we have studied the functional contribution of distinct DC subsets in disease development, namely, that of CCL17-expressing DCs as well as that of plasmacytoid DCs that play specialized roles in disease development. …”

Immunity and Tolerance Induced by Intestinal Mucosal Dendritic Cells by Julio Aliberti

“…Under steady-state conditions, these cells have high tolerogenic potential, triggering differentiation of regulatory T cells to protect the host from unwanted proinflammatory immune responses to innocuous antigens or commensals. On the other hand, these cells must discriminate between commensal flora and invading pathogens and mount powerful immune response against pathogens. …”
