Article Abstract
CD83 is the major surface marker identifying mature dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, we report the generation of reporter mice expressing EGFP under the control of the CD83 promoter. We have used these mice to characterize CD83 expression by various immune system cell types both in vivo and ex vivo and under steady-state conditions and in response to stimulation with a Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligand. With those mice we could prove in vivo that the CD83 promoter is highly active in all DCs and B cells in lymphoid organs. Interestingly, this promoter activity in B cells mainly depended on the stage of development, is up-regulated in the late pre-B cell stage, and was maintained on a high level in all peripheral B cells. We also confirmed that CD83 in those cells is mainly intracellular but is up-regulated after TLR stimulation. Otherwise, CD83 promoter activity in T cells seemed to depend on stimulation and could be found mainly in CD4(+)CD25(+) and CD8(+)CD25(+) T cells and in CD4(+) and CD8(+) memory cells. In addition, we identified the murine homologues of the human CD83 splice variants. In contrast to those in human, those extremely rare short transcripts were never found without the expression of the highly dominant full-length form. So, the murine CD83 surface expression is mainly regulated posttranslationally in vivo. Our CD83 reporter mice represent a useful mouse model for monitoring the activation status and migration of DCs and lymphocytes under various conditions, and our results provide much needed clarification of the true nature of CD83 promoter activity.

Mucosal vaccines offer several advantages over transdermal vaccines, including the ability to acquire systemic and mucosal immunities. Smoking is a huge public health threat and major risk factor for various diseases that exacerbate or prolong respiratory symptoms and conditions. However, its impact on the efficacy of mucosal vaccines remains partially explored.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a severe inflammatory skin disease. Langerhans cells and inflammatory dendritic epidermal cells (IDEC) are located in the epidermis of AD patients and contribute to the inflammatory processes. Both express robustly the high-affinity receptor for IgE, FcεRI, and thereby sense allergens.

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is an environmental sensor and ligand-activated transcription factor that is critically involved in the regulation of inflammatory responses and the induction of tolerance by modulating immune cells. As dendritic cells (DCs) express high AhR levels, they are efficient to induce immunomodulatory effects after being exposed to AhR-activating compounds derived from the environment or diet. To gain new insights into the molecular targets following AhR-activation in human monocyte-derived (mo)DCs, we investigated whether the natural AhR ligand quercetin or the synthetic ligand 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) modulates the function of human moDCs regarding their capability to prime naïve T cells or to migrate.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), a virulent pathogen of swine, suppresses the innate immune response and induces persistent infection. One mechanism used by viruses to evade the immune system is to cripple the antigen-processing machinery in monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs). In this study, we show that MoDCs infected by PRRSV express lower levels of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-peptide complex proteins TAP1 and ERp57 and are impaired in their ability to stimulate T cell proliferation and increase their production of CD83.
