Analysis of Pulmonary Dendritic Cell Maturation and Migration during Allergic Airway Inflammation

¹Stem Cell and Cancer Research Institute, McMaster University, Hamilton, ²Physiology and Experimental Medicine Research Program, Hospital for Sick Children, University of Toronto

We describe a strategy to monitor maturation and migration of pulmonary dendritic cells in response to ovalbumin in the setting of ovalbumin induced allergic airway inflammation. This strategy can be modified to assess migration of pulmonary dendritic cells in settings of infection.
