Resumen:
Histamine (HIS) plays a key role in inflammation and allergy, acting through four G-protein coupled receptors (H1R-H4R). Previously, we proved that HIS acting on dendritic cells (DCs) enhances cross-presentation of the soluble antigen ovalbumin (OVA). Here, we analyzed the intracellular mechanisms involved in the modulation of DCs functionality by HIS. We used immature murine DCs obtained from bone-marrow precursors of C57BL/ 6 mice cultured for nine days with GM-CSF. DCs were incubated with HIS (1μM, DC-HIS) or not (DC-Ct) for 20 min at 37°C. We show an activation of PKC protein in DC-HIS (DC-Ct 0.14±0.058 vs DC-HIS 0.24±0.079, p
