Allergic contact hypersensitivity to metals is a delayed-type allergy. Although various metals
are known to produce an allergic reaction, nickel is the most frequent cause of metal allergy …

Dendritic cells (DC) are increasingly applied in the immunotherapy of cancer. As the
development of a standardized DC vaccine product is often hampered by the limited …

Engagement of the T cell receptor complex reprograms T cells for proliferation, cytokine
production and differentiation towards effector cells. This process depends on activating …

Langerhans cells (LCs) play a pivotal role in skin homeostasis, and the heterogeneity of LCs
has long been considered. In this study, we have identified two steady-state (LC1 and LC2) …

Langerhans cells (LCs) in epithelia and interstitial dendritic cells (intDCs) in adjacent
connective tissues represent two closely related myeloid-derived DC subsets that exert …

With the development of aquaculture industry, high-carbohydrate diet is used to stimulate
protein-sparing effect and reduce feed cost. However, fish utilize carbohydrates poorly in …

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are important endogenous inhibitors of inflammatory
responses. Functional impairment of HDL might contribute to the excess mortality …

Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) preparations are used for treatment and prevention of graft
rejection episodes, graft versus host disease and aplastic anemia. The immunomodulatory …

Lipid abnormalities may have an effect on clinical outcomes of patients on dialysis. Recent
studies have indicated that HDL dysfunction is a hallmark of ESRD. In this study, we …

The transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) represents a promising therapeutic
target in allergy and autoimmunity. AhR signaling induced by the newly described ligand …
