Dendritic cells may lead to development of better vaccines.(Brief Article)
2002 APR 10 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- More effective vaccines may be developed as a result of research that is harnessing the skills of special cells in the body's immune response process. The work is being conducted at the Unviersity of Dundee.
The U.K. Medical Research Council has awarded Professor Colin Watts and his colleagues 1.2 million pounds sterling to fund work on dendritic cells. Watts is professor of immunology in the School of Life Sciences.
Although immunologists have known about dendritic cells for many years their importance in immunity has only recently been appreciated. They are now recognized as key messengers alerting other cells such as B and T lymphocytes to the presence of an infection. They are scattered widely in most tissues where they act as "sentinels" looking out for invaders.
When we get an infection or when we are vaccinated, they capture some of the foreign material and travel to other parts of the body, where they engage the lymphocytes that ultimately ...
