Involvement of cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) to dendritic cell population on inflammatory and allergic response

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) is one of the major receptors for cannabis, which is expressed all over the body especially on the immune-related cells. It is considered that CB2 can work as a regulator in the immune system, particularly to suppress inflammatory responses in macrophages and microglias when activated. However no other immune cells have been studied whether and how they get modulated by CB2 activity. The objective of this experiment is to search for the other immune cell that can be affected by CB2 activity, and reveal the detailed mechanism of CB2-involved immune regulation.
