Role of different dendritic cell subsets in vivo by Abdul Rashid Mohammad Muzaki

“…To understand the roles of various gut dendritic cell (DCs) subsets in controlling intestinal inflammation, two DTR mice strains: Clec9A DTR and Clec4a4 DTR, capable of conditional in vivo ablation of respective colonic CD103+ CD11b- and CD103+ CD11b+ DCs have been generated. In a dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) model of colonic inflammation, ablation of CD103+ CD11b- colonic DCs resulted in exacerbated colitis, while ablation of colonic CD103+ CD11b+ DCs resulted in resistance to colitis when subjected to the same DSS regiment. …”
