CD28 and CTLA-4 are opposing regulators of T cell activation, triggered by the two ligands CD80 and CD86. How these ligands promote either T cell activation via CD28 or inhibition via CTLA-4 is not understood. Using CD80 and CD86 molecules expressed on transfected cells, we have identified a major d
Adoptive transfer of in vitro generated antigen-specific T cells has been successfully used to treat viral infections in immunodeficient patients. Therefore, methods for the rapid in vitro expansion of antigen-specific T cells are needed. Influenza virus efficiently infects dendritic cells, and pept
## Abstract We have previously shown that human monocyte‐derived dendritic cells (DC) express indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase (IDO), as well as several other enzymes of the kynurenine pathway at the mRNA level upon maturation. The tolerogenic mechanisms of this pathway remain unclear. Here we show that
