Summary of Meeting
The current studies on Dendritic Cells (DCs) have confirmed not only their major role as antigen presenting cells in adaptive immunity but also their important functions in the initiation of the innate resistance and inflammatory responses. Thus, DCs function as an important bridge between innate resistance and adaptive immunity either through cellular interactions or secretion of pro-inflammatory and immunoregulatory cytokines. The origin and migration pattern of DCs as well as their sharing of hematopoietic lineages, functions, and receptors with other phagocytic cell types such as monocytes and macrophages is a subject of intense investigation. The special characteristics of antigen processing and expression of immunoregulatory gene products in DCs are central in their ability to either activate or tolerize T cells and in their in vivo functions in degenerative, autoimmune and infectious diseases as well as in cancer. In this symposium, the following aspects of DC biology will be emphasized: (1) DC precursors and relation with monocyte and macrophages; (2) receptors, phagocytosis, and antigen presentation; (3) regulation of type I IFN production; (4) DCs in tolerance, immunity, and T cell activation; and (5) DCs in cancer and other diseases.

Supported by the Society for Mathematical Biology and the NIH-funded PRiME (Program for Research on Immune Modeling and Experimentation) Initiative

The immune system acts across multiple scales of space and time involving complex interactions and feedback. Computational modeling provides a framework to integrate observational data collected from multiple modes of experimentation and can provide insight into immune cell function in health and disease. Computational approaches have been increasingly applied to problems in immunology, providing methods that range from the inference of transcriptional programs to the prediction of drug treatment effects on viral dynamics. This workshop will cover recent advances and potential applications of computational modeling and methods to dendritic cells.
