Dendritic cells (DCs) have emerged in the field of cancer immunotherapy as the most potent professional antigen-presenting ...

The immune system must be able to quickly attack invaders like viruses, while also ignoring harmless stimuli, or allergies can result. Immune cells are known to ignore or "tolerate" molecules found on ...

LMU researchers have shown that a particular type of immune cell acts more flexibly than previously thought - with potential for new therapeutic approaches. As part of the innate immune system, ...

Researchers have shown that a particular type of immune cell acts more flexibly than previously thought -- with potential for new therapeutic approaches. LMU researchers have shown that a particular ...

Cancer cells can disarm the immune system not just by hiding from it, but by actively reprogramming nearby immune cells into a suppressed state. This previously unrecognized molecular interaction, ...

Silencing mRNA expression in dendritic cells did not impair T‑cell priming, including for SARS‑CoV‑2 antigens, suggesting that cross‑presentation by other cell types is sufficient to initiate immunity ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...
