In this study, we aimed to examine whether DEC205+ DC targeting of a single immunodominant peptide derived from human cartilage proteoglycan (PG) can promote immune tolerance in PG-induced arthritis (PGIA). Besides disease induction by immunization with whole PG protein with a high degree of antigenic complexity, PGIA substantially differs from previously studied autoimmune models not only in the target tissue of autoimmune destruction but also in the nature of pathogenic immune effector cells. Our results show that DEC205+ DC targeting of the PG peptide 70\u201384 is sufficient to efficiently protect against PGIA development. Complementary mechanistic studies support a model in which DEC205+ DC targeting leads to insufficient germinal center B cell support by PG-specific follicular helper T cells. Consequently, impaired germinal center formation results in lower Ab titers, severely compromising the development of PGIA. Overall, this study further corroborates the potential of prospective tolerogenic DEC205+ DC vaccination to interfere with autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.1400986","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,11]],"date-time":"2015-04-11T03:56:25Z","timestamp":1428724585000},"page":"4804-4813","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["DEC205+ Dendritic Cell\u2013Targeted Tolerogenic Vaccination Promotes Immune Tolerance in Experimental Autoimmune Arthritis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"194","author":[{"given":"Rachel","family":"Spiering","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, Utrecht University , 3584 CL Utrecht ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bram","family":"Margry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, Utrecht University , 3584 CL Utrecht ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chantal","family":"Keijzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, Utrecht University , 3584 CL Utrecht ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cathleen","family":"Petzold","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Cellular Immunology\/Immune Regulation, German Research Foundation\u2013Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden, Dresden University of Technology , 01307 Dresden ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aad","family":"Hoek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, Utrecht University , 3584 CL Utrecht ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9e","family":"Wagenaar-Hilbers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, Utrecht University , 3584 CL Utrecht ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruurd","family":"van der Zee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, Utrecht University , 3584 CL Utrecht ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Willem","family":"van Eden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, Utrecht University , 3584 CL Utrecht ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karsten","family":"Kretschmer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Cellular Immunology\/Immune Regulation, German Research Foundation\u2013Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden, Dresden University of Technology , 01307 Dresden ,","place":["Germany"]},{"name":"Paul Langerhans Institute Dresden, German Center for Diabetes Research , 01307 Dresden ,","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Femke","family":"Broere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, Utrecht University , 3584 CL Utrecht ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025030706211022100_r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"311","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rdc.2010.02.004","article-title":"Cell-cell interactions in rheumatoid arthritis synovium","volume":"36","author":"Fox","year":"2010","journal-title":"Rheum.
