Dynamics of dendritic cell migration and the subsequent induction of protective immunity in the lung after repeated airway challenges by nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae outer membrane protein
To determine the dynamics of dendritic cell (DCs) migration and their role in recurrent infections by nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), the migration of mature DC into pulmonary lymph nodes (LN) and the development of a P6-specific immune response and bacterial clearance in the lung were ex...

Summary: | To determine the dynamics of dendritic cell (DCs) migration and their role in recurrent infections by nontypeable
Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), the migration of mature DC into pulmonary lymph nodes (LN) and the development of a P6-specific immune response and bacterial clearance in the lung were examined after repeated airway challenges with outer membrane protein (OMP) at 1-week intervals in mice. Although the migration of mature DC into the pulmonary LN is attenuated after repeated airway challenge with OMP, the in vitro P6-specific T cell proliferation in the cultured pulmonary LN cells was enhanced and was subsequently linked to the development of P6-specific IgA production and the development of protective immunity in the airway of mice. |
