Plasmacytoid dendritic cells: in search of their niche in immune responses.

abstract：:The complement system is well represented in the central nervous system. Glial cells and neurons produce or express all of the activation and regulatory proteins and the C3a/C5a receptors. Inhibition of complement activation is protective in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, the animal model for multiple sclero...

abstract：:CD6 is a cell surface receptor expressed on the majority of T cells and a subset of B cells. When expressed, CD6 contributes to lymphocyte activation through its extracellular domain 1, while adhesion and cellular migration are related to the extracellular scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain (SRCR-D)-3 of CD6. Ito...
