Abstract:
The monocyte-derived, inflammatory dendritic cell subset plays an important role during immune responses against infections. This review will focus on the complex, changing role of this subset during mycobacterial infection. Studies demonstrate that in addition to sustaining a systemic anti-mycobacterial response, the inflammatory dendritic cell subset present in Mycobacterium-induced granulomas also influences local immune regulation within the granuloma over the course of infection. This review will also survey the literature on how similar and different inflammatory dendritic cell subsets during other infections.
