Adrenergic β2 receptor activation stimulates anti-inflammatory properties of dendritic cells in vitro.

Vagal nerve efferent activation has been shown to ameliorate the course of many inflammatory disease states. This neuro-modulatory effect has been suggested to rest on acetylcholine receptor (AChR) activation on tissue macrophages or dendritic cells (DCs). In more recent studies, vagal anti-inflamma...
