Dendritic Cells Induce Peripheral T Cell Unresponsiveness under Steady State Conditions in Vivo

Abstract: Dendritic cells (DCs) have the capacity to initiate immune responses, but it has been postulated that they may also be involved in inducing peripheral tolerance. To examine the function of DCs in the steady state we devised an antigen delivery system targeting these specialized antigen presenting cells in vivo using a monoclonal antibody to a DC-restricted endocytic receptor, DEC-205. Our experiments show that this route of antigen delivery to DCs is several orders of magnitude more efficient than free peptide… Show more

“…In the absence of antigen, T cells are in a non-activated state and do not exert effector functions, such as the secretion of cytokines. An antigen encounter can lead to the activation of specific T cells, however, the outcome of T cell activation is thought to depend critically on the APC type/subtype on which the antigen is presented [12][13][14]. For example, the production of IFN-γ by primed Th1 memory cells is regulated by the ability of APC to produce IL-12 [15,16].…”

“…Numerous studies linking tolerance to DC maturation status have emphasized the importance of incomplete signaling to T cells [4][5][6][7][8], while others have highlighted dominant interactions delivering negative or co-inhibitory signals as critical [11][12][13][14]16]. More complete explanations advocate some balance of the two, with micro-environmental context of antigenic encounter, and the nature of the Ag itself proposed as key determinants in establishing this balance of signaling [9,10].…”

“…Immunological outcome was thought to be related directly to the maturation status of DC, with immature DC presenting for tolerance [4][5][6]; however, this simple view rapidly failed to account for accumulating experimental observations [7,8]. The functional diversity of DC has more recently been explained by the integration of multiple factors within a particular anatomical location causing the differentiation of appropriately tuned ''effector'' DC [9,10].…”
