An odorant-binding protein as a new allergen from Siberian hamster (Phodopus sungorus).

abstract：BACKGROUND:Dendritic cells (DC) play a decisive role in the induction of allergen-induced Th1 and Th2 responses. Since the induction of allergen-specific Th1 responses has shown to inhibit allergen-induced Th2-type inflammation, in this study we investigated whether manipulated myeloid-derived DC pulsed with the specif...
