Dendritic cells (DCs) are "professional" antigen-presenting cells capable of stimulating T-cell proliferation and cytotoxicity when loaded with and presenting specific antigens, including tumor antigens. We demonstrated the stimulation of an autologous cytotoxic T-cell response elicited by DC loaded
## Abstract Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) recognize antigenic peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCβI) molecules on the surface of target cells. Optimal induction of CD8^+^ CTL depends on the amount of relevant peptide/MHCβI complexes and the presence of coβstimulatory
