Tolerogenic DCs (tolDCs) are functionally defined by their ability to expand the regulatory T-cell compartment and suppress immune responses. However, it remains unclear whether tolDCs represent:


  • A homogeneous population

  • A specific DC subset

  • A heterogeneous collection of DC activation/maturation states


The ligand-activated transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) has been shown to control transcriptional programs associated with Tolerogenic dendritic cells (tolDCs).

Tolerogenic are heterogenous pool of DC with immuno-suppressive properties. Tolerogenic dendritic cells (tolDCs) show reduced expression of [costimulatory molecules](brain://1IgnuS2kNl-fJUUVbifSqg/CostimulatoryMolecu…
