## Abstract Dendritic cells (DCs) and natural killer (NK) cells are key players at the interface between innate resistance and acquired immunity. NK cells can induce DC maturation, a differentiation process whereby DCs respond to a environmental stimulus and acquire the ability of eliciting adaptiv

## Abstract Dendritic cells (DCs) display an extraordinary capacity to induce T‐cell responses providing the opportunity of DC‐based cancer vaccination strategies. Additional findings indicate that DCs may also play a crucial role for the activation of natural killer (NK) cells, which are important
## Abstract NK and DC reciprocal interactions have only recently been investigated. In this study, we focused on the interplay between NK cells and DC in two models of bacterial infection. Immature monocyte‐derived DC were cultured in the presence of live __Escherichia coli__ or bacillus Calmette–G
Major insights into events that control Th1/Th2 differentiation have been acquired recently, and highlight the role of Type I IFN in Th1 generation, by inducing up-regulation of the IL-12 receptor g 2 subunit. IFN- § induces responsiveness to IL-12, and here we have investigated the source and the c
