## Abstract Lithium has been used or explored to treat psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases that are frequently associated with an abnormal immune status. It is likely that lithium may work through modulation of immune responses in these patients. Because dendritic cells (DC) play a central r

## Abstract RNA interference technology has been used to modulate dendritic cell (DC) function by targeting the expression of genes such as IL‐12 and NF‐kB. In this paper, we demonstrate that transfectionof DC with IL‐10‐specific double strands of small interference RNA (siRNA) resulted in potent s
We have identified a novel gene encoding a protein designated DLEC (dendritic cell lectin), which is a type II membrane glycoprotein of 213 amino acids and belongs to the human calcium-dependent (C-type) lectin family. The cytoplasmic tail of DLEC lacks consensus signaling motifs and its extracellul
