Abstract

Dendritic cells (DCs) induce and regulate T-cell responses, and tolerogenic DCs can promote the development of regulatory T cells with suppressive activity. The possibility of manipulating DCs using different pharmacological or biological agents, enabling them to exert tolerogenic activities, could be exploited to better control a variety of chronic inflammatory conditions, from autoimmune diseases to allograft rejection.
