Journal of Immunology (Baltimore, Md: 1950). 2013;191(1):25–9. The authors find that CD103+ DCs are critical for airway tolerance by using the BATF3-KO mouse that is deficient in this DC subset. The BATF3-KO mice do not develop tolerance to inhaled OVA antigen compared to that of wild-type mice and fail to induce Tregs in the lungs.

The adoptive transfer of CD8alpha(+) pDCs, but not CD8alpha(−) pDCs, into mice is sufficient to induce differentiation of naïve CD4 T cells into Tregs.

Allergy. 2014;69(8):1068–76. Patients with allergic asthma have increased expression of TSLPR on circulating myeloid DCs. These TSLPR-expressing DCs were more potent at inducing Th2 and Th9 responses when compared to DCs isolated from non-allergic patients. This suggests a global dysregulation of DCs in allergic patients that may increase susceptibility to allergen sensitization.
