Here, we show that treatment with a sialidase significantly improved the capacity of both immature and mature MDDCs to phagocytose Escherichia coli. Namely, neuraminidase-treated DCs show increased gene transcription of proinflammatory and Th1-promoting cytokines and induce greater proliferative responses of T lymphocytes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play an essential role in immunity against bacteria by phagocytosis...Read More
