Study Notes
Dendritic Cell Migration and Maturation
- Conventional dendritic cells express the specific chemokine receptor CCR7 upon activation.
- Chemokines produced by lymphatic endothelium and stromal cells in T cell zones of lymph nodes direct dendritic cells to migrate to these zones.
- The maturation of dendritic cells during migration from epithelium to lymph nodes is reflected by their increased antigen-presenting capacity.
- The chemokine receptor CCR7 plays a crucial role in conventional dendritic cells upon activation, directing them to migrate to lymph nodes.
- The maturation of dendritic cells during migration is characterized by increased antigen-presenting capacity and expression of CCR7.
- Activated dendritic cells migrate to T cell zones of lymph nodes in response to chemokines produced by lymphatic endothelium and stromal cells.
