Dendritic cells and autoimmunity.
Dendritic cells (DC) are professional antigen-presenting cells that are specialized in the uptake of antigens and their transport from peripheral tissues to the lymphoid organs. Because of their capacity to stimulate naive T cells, DC have a central role in the initiation of primary immune responses and are considered promising tools and targets for immunotherapy. Emerging data suggest a role for DC in initiating autoimmune attacks. Direct analysis of DC phenotypes and DC-T-cell interactions in rodent and human autoimmune diseases should shed light on how pathogenesis occurs, and suggest novel avenues of treatment aimed at alleviating deviant DC function.
