Severe sepsis leads to a dysregulated inflammatory response followed by a complex immunosuppressive state that can favor the emergence of nosocomial infections. The cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive the post-infective immunosuppression remain poorly understood. They may involve immune cells that link innate and adaptive immunity such as dendritic cells or innate-like lymphocytes. Furthermore, Toll-like receptors (TLR) are critical determinants of the inflammatory response but their role to the development of sepsis-induced immune dysfunction are unknown. The aim of this research project was to investigate the role of dendritic cells, innatelike T cells and TLR-dependent signalling pathways in the sepsis-induced immunosuppression ...
