Th2 cells are also found in the context of parasite infections, where they can mediate parasite clearance and expulsion, and support tissue repair. The process that leads to the activation of Th2 cells in vivo is incompletely understood while it has become clear that "conventional" dendritic cells are essential antigen-presenting cells for the initiation of Th2 immune responses, the molecules that are expressed by dendritic cells exposed to allergens, and the mediators that are produced as a consequence and signal to naïve CD4+ T cells to promote their development into effector Th2, remain to be defined. Here we summarize recent developments in the identification of the dendritic cell subsets involved in Th2 responses, review potential mechanisms proposed to explain the generation of these immune responses, and discuss the direct and indirect signals that condition dendritic cells to drive the development of Th2 responses during allergen or parasite exposure.Parametric optimization always plays important roles in bioengineering systems to obtain a high product yield under the proper conditions. The parametric conditions of lactic acid production by homologous batch fermentation of Lactobacillus pentosus cells was optimized by the Box-Behnken design. The highest l-lactic acid yield was obtained as 0.836 ± 0.003 g/g glucose with the productivity of 0.906 ± 0.003 g/(L × H) under the optimum conditions of 34.7 °C, pH 6.2, 148 rpm agitation speed, and 9.3 g/L nitrogen source concentration determined by quadratic response surface with high accuracy. The adequate kinetic models of cell growth rate, lactic production rate, and glucose consumption rate were also established to describe the fermentation behavi
