Dendritic cells (DC) initiate T cell responses and direct the class of T cell immunity through the production of Th-polarizing cytokines. In the mouse, immunization with CD8alpha(+) DC has led to Th1 priming whereas immunization with CD8alpha(-) DC has been associated with Th2 induction. Here, we us

## Abstract ## Background In lower airway disease such as asthma, epithelial cells have been shown to be potent regulators of dendritic cell (DC) functions. However, it is unclear how human sinonasal epithelial cells (HSNECs) from patients with sinusitis regulate DC functions. Therefore, in these
## Abstract Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells regulate the Tβhelper (Th) 1/2 balance and elicit either enhancement or suppression of the immune responses. However, the exact mechanism by which iNKT cells exert these contrasting functions has remained elusive. We demonstrate herein that two ma
## Abstract __Yersinia pestis__ evades immune responses in part by injecting into host immune cells several effector proteins called __Yersinia__ outer proteins (Yops) that impair cellular function. This has been best characterized in the innate effector cells, but much less so for cells involved i
