It is well accepted that T cell responses are integral in providing protection during pathogenic infections. In numerous tissues, T cell responses are generated to combat infection. Typically, these T cell responses are primed in draining lymph nodes (LN) by dendritic cells (DC) that have migrated from the infected tissue. Previously, it was thought that after the initial encounter between DC and T cells in the LN, the T cells underwent a programmed response. However, it has become increasingly clear that direct interactions between DCs and T cells in infected, peripheral tissues can modulate the activation, effector function, tissue residence, and memory responses of these T cells. This review will highlight the contribution of local, direct DC: T cell interactions to the regulation of T cell responses in various tissues during inflammation and infection .
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 May 2014.
All research outputs
#15,301,167
of 22,756,196 outputs
Outputs from Immunologic Research
#555
of 901 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#133,350
of 227,399 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Immunologic Research
#20
of 32 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,756,196 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 901 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.0. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 227,399 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 32 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
