Thrombomodulin Modulates Dendritic Cells via Both Antagonism of High Mobility Group Protein B1 and an Independent Mechanism

Background: Thrombomodulin treatment modulates the properties of dendritic cells (DCs) converting them from immunogenic to tolerogenic and inducing its own expression on DCs. Thrombomodulin binds to the inflammatory mediator, high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1), antagonizing signalling through it...
