Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) control the balance between effector T cells and regulatory T cells in vivo. Hence, the study of DCs might identify mechanisms of disease pathogenesis and guide new therapeutic approaches for disorders mediated by the immune system. We found that interleukin 27 (IL-27) signaling in mouse DCs limited the generation of effector cells of the TH1 and TH17 subsets of helper T cells and the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). The effects of IL-27 were mediated at least in part through induction of the immunoregulatory molecule CD39 in DCs.
