Dendritic cells are cells specialized for antigen capture, migration and T cell stimulation. Recent advances have been made in understanding their origin, their heterogeneity, the mechanism of antigen uptake, and the signals that induce their migration and maturation into immunostimulatory antigen-p
umors pose a unique immunological problem in that they are not completely foreign entities, but rather are derived from tissues of the host. Nevertheless, early studies have shown that some autologous tumor cells possess antigens capable of inducing protective immunity (reviewed in Ref. 1). In gener
