β¦ Synopsis
saw key advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms whereby immature dendritic cells recognise foreign pathogens in tissues and are induced to migrate to secondary lymphoid organs. In particular, there have been some key insights into how dendritic cells subsequently direct the evolution of immune responses by differential expression of co-stimulatory molecules.

Dendritic cells (DC) have been showed to both produce and respond to chemokines. To understand how this may impact on DC function, we analyzed the kinetics of chemokine production and responsiveness during DC maturation. After stimulation with LPS, TNF- Β§ or CD40 ligand, the inflammatory chemokines
