Modulation of CD86 expression in skin dendritic cells does not always correlate with changes in DC motility, migration and allostimulatory functions.
CD86 expression is a well-known activation marker of dendritic cells (DC). In this study, we compared the level of CD86 expression in monocyte-derived skin DC with their motility, migratory abilities and allostimulatory capabilities. We show that motility and migration could be uncoupled from activation and that the immune response-modulating effects of certain compounds may correlate with down-regulation of CD86 expression rather than with effects on motility and migration.
