Recognition by Dendritic Cells Negatively Regulates Allergic Lung Inflammation through a TLR2/MyD88 Pathway.

is an opportunistic fungal pathogen responsible for a spectrum of clinical manifestations. Dendritic cells recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns of via two main receptor families, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and C-type lectin receptors (CLR). Here, the importance of TLR and CLR signaling in the regulation of T-helper cell type 2 (Th2) responses was analyzed using a mouse model based on the transfer of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) pulsed with conidia.
