An investigation into IgE-facilitated allergen recognition and presentation by human dendritic cells. BMC Immunology, 14(Decemb), Article 12. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2172-14-54

Background: Allergen recognition by dendritic cells (DCs) is a key event in the allergic cascade leading to production of IgE antibodies. C-type lectins, such as the mannose receptor and DC-SIGN, were recently shown to play an important role in the u...
