Dendritic Cells and Chemokine-directed Migration in Transplantation: Where Are We Headed?
Overview
Affiliations
The role of dendritic cells (DC) in transplantation is often overshadowed by the more prominent roles of T and B cells, which interact directly with and, in the absence of immunosuppressive therapy, destroy the allograft. It has become increasingly recognized, however, that these potent antigen-presenting cells exert control over the immune response and regulate the balance between tolerance and immunity to transplanted organs and tissues. The role that chemokines play in influencing DC function with impact on regulation of immune responses against the graft is only beginning to be understood. This article considers how the manipulation of DC trafficking during an alloimmune response can affect graft outcome.
