Monitoring and Modulation of Inducible Foxp3+ Regulatory T-Cell Differentiation in the Lymph Nodes Draining the Small Intestine and Colon
The mucosa-draining lymphoid tissue favors differentiation of inducible Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. Adoptive transfer of T-cell receptor (TCR) transgenic (Tg) T cells is a powerful tool to study antigen-specific r...

Isolation of Human Skin Dendritic Cells by In Vitro Migration
In the human skin, various types of antigen-presenting cells (APC) are present. In the epidermis, they are identified ultrastructurally as Langerhans cells (LC) by the presence of Birbeck granules. LC are cons...
