PG - 181-190 LID - 10.1007/978-1-0716-0475-5_13 [doi] AB - Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent antigen-presenting cells that possess the ability to stimulate naive T cells, initiating the adaptive immune response. Ex vivo DC cultures are useful to evaluate how helminths regulate DC maturation and stimulatory activity. Here, we describe how to isolate CD11c(+) from F. hepatica-infected mice to evaluate their activation state, cytokine production and regulatory function in an allogeneic T cell assay.
