Background
The generation of the tolerogenic dendritic cells (DC) is not fully understood yet. Forkhead box protein‐3 (Foxp3) is an important molecule in the immune tolerance. This study tests a hypothesis that DCs express Foxp3, which can be upregulated by Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB).
Methods
The expression of Foxp3 by DCs was evaluated by real‐time RT‐PCR, Western blotting, flow cytometry,...
Our and others’ previous studies have shown that Schistosoma japonicum (SJ) infection can inhibit allergic reactions. Moreover, we found that adoptive transfer of dendritic cells (DCs) from inhibited mice showed a similar inhibitory effect on allergy, suggesting a critical role of DCs in SJ‐infected mediated inhibition of allergy. In this study, we further examined the mechanism by which DCs contribute...
