Dendritic cellls (DCs) comprise an essential component of the immune system. These cells, as antigen presenting cells (APCs)
to na?ve T cells, are crucial in the initiation of antigen specific immune responses. In the past years, several DC subsets
have been identified in different organs which exert different effects in order to elicit adaptive immune responses. Thus,
identification of such DC subsets has led to a better understanding of their distribution and function in the body. In this
review, several key properties of the immunobiology, immunopathogenesis and vaccine strategies using DCs will be discussed. 相似文献

Dendritic cells (DC) are known to present exogenous protein Ag effectively to T cells. In this study we sought to identify
the proteases that DC employ during antigen processing. The murine epidermal-derived DC line Xs52, when pulsed with PPD, optimally
activated the PPD-reactive Th1 clone LNC.2F1 as well as the Th2 clone LNC.4k1, and this activation was completely blocked
by chloroquine pretreatment. These results validate the capacity of XS52 DC to digest PPD into immunogenic peptides inducing
antigen specific T cell immune responses. XS52 DC, as well as splenic DC and DCs derived from bone marrow degraded standard
substrates for cathepsins B, C, D/E, H, J, and L, tryptase, and chymases, indicating that DC express a variety of protease
activities. Treatment of XS52 DC with pepstatin A, an inhibitor of aspartic acid proteases, completely abrogated their capacity
to present native PPD, but not trypsin-digested PPD fragments to Th1 and Th2 cell clones. Pepstatin A also inhibited cathepsin
D/E activity selectively among the XS52 DC-associated protease activities. On the other hand, inhibitors of serine proteases
(dichloroisocoumarin, DCI) or of cystein proteases (E-64) did not impair XS52 DC presentation of PPD, nor did they inhibit
cathepsin D/E activity. Finally, all tested DC populations (XS52 DC, splenic DC, and bone marrow-derived DC) constitutively
expressed cathepsin D mRNA. These results suggest that DC primarily employ cathepsin D (and perhaps E) to digest PPD into
antigenic peptides. 相似文献
