Noriaki Miyanaga and Hideaki Takagi et al. identify an essential role for migratory dendritic cells in mediating immunotherapy treatment against allergies in mice. They show that submandibular lymph node dendritic cells induce regulatory T cells, and their absence abrogates the effectiveness of immunotherapy treatment.
