While most of the focus in cancer immunology is on CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses, recent evidence indicates that CD4+ T cells are an equally critical component of the antitumor immune response. Successful immunity to cancer will therefore require activation of tumor-specific CD4+ T cells. Tu

Recent studies of CD8 + T cell responses against intracellular bacteria have provided insights into the relevance of the exogenous and endogenous MHC class I presentation pathways during the priming and effector stages. The capacity of these organisms to deliver vaccine antigens, either as bacterial
Recent work on CD1 molecules has demonstrated that human CDlb and a lipoglycan from mycobacteria that CDlb presents colocalize to late endosomes. Presentation of this lipoglycan by CDlb requires antigen uptake via the mannose receptor. CD8 + CDl-restricted T cells can decrease the load of intracellu
