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

“…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. Hence our results highlight the opposing roles of these two distinct colonic DC subsets in controlling DSS-induced colonic inflammation. …”
