Dendritic cell immunotherapy: mapping the way

CG Figdor, IJM de Vries, WJ Lesterhuis, CJM Melief - Nature medicine, 2004 - nature.com
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the professional antigen-presenting cells of the immune system,
with the potential to either stimulate or inhibit immune responses. Exploiting the immune-…

C-type lectin receptors on dendritic cells and Langerhans cells

CG Figdor, Y Van Kooyk, GJ Adema - Nature Reviews Immunology, 2002 - nature.com
Dendritic cells and Langerhans cells are specialized for the recognition of pathogens and
have a pivotal role in the control of immunity. As guardians of the immune system, they are …

Dendritic-cell immunotherapy: from ex vivo loading to in vivo targeting

…, IJM De Vries, R Torensma, CG Figdor - Nature Reviews …, 2007 - nature.com
The realization that dendritic cells (DCs) orchestrate innate and adaptive immune responses
has stimulated research on harnessing DCs to create more effective vaccines. Early clinical …

Interleukin 10 (IL-10) inhibits cytokine synthesis by human monocytes: an autoregulatory role of IL-10 produced by monocytes.

…, J Abrams, B Bennett, CG Figdor… - The Journal of …, 1991 - rupress.org
In the present study we demonstrate that human monocytes activated by lipopolysaccharides
(LPS) were able to produce high levels of interleukin 10 (IL-10), previously designated …

[HTML][HTML] DC-SIGN, a dendritic cell–specific HIV-1-binding protein that enhances trans-infection of T cells

…, VN KewalRamani, DR Littman, CG Figdor… - Cell, 2000 - cell.com
Dendritic cells (DC) capture microorganisms that enter peripheral mucosal tissues and then
migrate to secondary lymphoid organs, where they present these in antigenic form to resting …

[HTML][HTML] Identification of DC-SIGN, a novel dendritic cell–specific ICAM-3 receptor that supports primary immune responses

…, GJ Adema, Y van Kooyk, CG Figdor - Cell, 2000 - cell.com
Contact between dendritic cells (DC) and resting T cells is essential to initiate a primary
immune response. Here, we demonstrate that ICAM-3 expressed by resting T cells is important …

Physical limits of cell migration: control by ECM space and nuclear deformation and tuning by proteolysis and traction force

…, J Te Riet, AL Willis, RM Hoffman, CG Figdor… - Journal of Cell …, 2013 - rupress.org
Cell migration through 3D tissue depends on a physicochemical balance between cell
deformability and physical tissue constraints. Migration rates are further governed by the capacity …

Magnetic resonance tracking of dendritic cells in melanoma patients for monitoring of cellular therapy

…, CJA Punt, A Heerschap, CG Figdor - Nature …, 2005 - nature.com
The success of cellular therapies will depend in part on accurate delivery of cells to target
organs. In dendritic cell therapy, in particular, delivery and subsequent migration of cells to …

Effects of IL-13 on phenotype, cytokine production, and cytotoxic function of human monocytes. Comparison with IL-4 and modulation by IFN-gamma or IL-10.

R de Waal Malefyt, CG Figdor, R Huijbens… - … (Baltimore, Md.: 1950 …, 1993 - journals.aai.org
Recently, we described the cloning and expression of a human cDNA which is the homologue
to P600, a gene transcribed by mouse Th2 clones. Based on its activities on human …

The dendritic cell-specific adhesion receptor DC-SIGN internalizes antigen for presentation to T cells

…, A Lanzavecchia, J Fransen, CG Figdor… - The Journal of …, 2002 - journals.aai.org
Dendritic cells (DCs) capture Ags or viruses in peripheral tissue to transport them to lymphoid
organs to induce cellular T cell responses. Recently, a DC-specific C-type lectin was …
