X Abstract

Active suppression is mediated by a subpopulation of CD4+ T cells that prevents autoimmunity. However, the mechanisms involved in their differentiation in vivo are currently under intensive research. Here we show that in vitro culture of bone marrow cells in the presence of IL-10 induces the differentiation of a distinct subset of dendritic cells with a specific expression of CD45RB. These CD11clowCD45RBhigh DCs are present in the spleen and lymph nodes of normal mice and are significantly enriched in the spleen of IL-10 Tg mice. These natural or in vitro-derived DCs display plasmacytoid morphology and an immature-like phenotype, and secrete high levels of IL-10 after activation. OVA peptide-pulsed CD11clowCD45RBhigh DCs specifically induce tolerance through the differentiation of Tr1 cells in vitro and in vivo. Our findings identify a natural DC subset that induces the differentiation of Tr1 cells and suggest their therapeutic use.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
