Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Activation and the Prevention of Type 1 Diabetes

Creator:

Newman, Matthew

Abstract:

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that is an important regulator of immune responses in various disease models. In the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model of type 1 diabetes, activation of this receptor leads to suppression of the autoimmune response and limits immune cell infiltration of...

Investigations of regulatory T cell induction by 2, 3, 7, 8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin during a graft-versus-host response

Creator:

Marshall, Nikki B.

Abstract:

The immune toxicity of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) has been studied for over 35 years, but only recently has the profound immune suppression associated with TCDD exposure been linked to induction of regulatory T cells (Tregs). The effects of TCDD are mediated through binding the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a ligand-activated transcription...
