PG - 93-116 LID - 10.1007/978-1-0716-3366-3_5 [doi] AB - Dendritic cells (DCs) are key regulators of immunogenic and tolerogenic immune responses. Both these immune responses require DCs respectively to activate effector T cells or to induce their anergy and T regulatory activity. Modifications of DCs in the laboratory and several pharmacological agents can enhance and stabilize their tolerogenic properties. Recent evidences demonstrate that activation of specific toll-like receptors (TLRs) can be involved in induction of DCs with tolerogenic properties able to initiate T regulatory cell responses.In the present chapter, we show a detail protocol to obtain in vitro regulatory conventional DCs (cDCs) in response to repeated exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a ligand of TLR4, by mimicking the mechanism of endotoxin tolerance. Subsequently, the protective effect of cDCs' conditionate with LPS will be describe in in vivo inflammatory model of endotoxemia. Finally, we illustrate the method to study the ability of LPS-conditionate cDCs to promote T regulatory cells in ex vivo system. CI - (c) 2023.
