Research Abstract |
In this study, we examined whether sensitizers oxidize cell surface thiols of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs). All the sensitizers that we examined decreased cell surface thiols on MoDCs. Our data suggest that the oxidation of cell surface thiols have some role in triggering DC maturation by sensitizers. In addition, we also suggest that both ER stress and CD40 ligand derived from platelets are related to DC maturation by sensitizers.
