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
## Murine epidermal Langerhans cells and splenic dendritic cells present tumor-associated antigens to primed T cells We examined the ability of epidermal Langerhans cells and splenic dendritic cells to present tumor-associated antigens (Ag) to immune T cells. Methylcholanthrene (MCA)-induced subcu
Tumors are tolerated by the immune system notwithstanding the expression of tumor-associated antigens. PROb tumor cells, derived from a rat colon carcinoma, are rejected by tumor-immune hosts but give rise to progressive tumors in naive hosts. Paradoxically, these tumors are heavily infiltrated by d
## Abstract Dendritic cells (DC) have gained much interest in the field of anticancer vaccine development because of their central function in immune regulation. However, the clinical application of __ex vivo__ cultured DC has significant disadvantages. A vaccine that targets dendritic cells __in v
