Background: It has been shown that intracellular pathogens hijack DC functions to evade immune defense mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the responses of human monocyte derived DCs to four intracellular bacteria, Tropheryma whipplei, Coxiella burnetii, Brucella abortus and Orientia tsutsuga...

The role of placental macrophages is largely ignored in the success of pregnancy. We found that CD14+ macrophages purified from at-term placentas spontaneously matured into multinucleated giant cells (MGCs). MGCs lost the expression of CD14 and co-inhibitory molecules, such as Programmed cell Death-...

Metabolic regulation recently emerged as a novel powerful principle guiding immune responses. The natural metabolite itaconate and its membrane permeable derivative dimethyl itaconate (DI) were recently shown to selectively inhibit a subset of cytokines during macrophage activation, yet the precise ...

A major population of placenta macrophages represented throughout the pregnancy consists of CD14+ macrophages, but their characteristics remain badly understood. Here we purified from placentas at term CD14+ macrophages using positive selection. The phenotyping of CD14+ macrophages performed using f...
