Abstract EN
Dendritic cells are important residents of the lung environment.
They have been associated with asthma and other inflammatory diseases of the airways.
In addition to their antigen-presenting functions, dendritic cells have the ability to modulate the lung environment to promote atopic disease.
While it has long been known that respiratory viral infections associate with the development and exacerbation of atopic diseases, the exact mechanisms have been unclear.
Recent studies have begun to show the critical importance of the dendritic cell in this process.
This paper focuses on these data demonstrating how different populations of dendritic cells are capable of bridging the adaptive and innate immune systems, ultimately leading to the translation of viral illness into atopic disease.
