Adaptive immunity plays a critical role in atherosclerosis and hypertension. T helper 17 (Th17) cells, as a new T-cell lineage, are involved in cardiovascular diseases. Dendritic cells (DCs) are the professional antigen-presenting cells with the pivotal role in orchestrating adaptive immunity. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) can activate DCs and trigger adaptive immune responses. What the role of TSLP in atherosclerosis and hypertension has not been investigated.
