For cross-presentation immature dendritic cells (DC) require enhanced antigen (Ag) uptake and a maturation signal to prime for MHC class I-restricted CTL responses in vivo. While immunostimulatory CpG-DNA provides, via TLR9, the maturation signal, CpG-DNA linked to Ag augments cellular Ag uptake. In
Dendritic cells (DC) utilize at least two pathways to process viral antigens onto MHC class I molecules. The conventional endogenous route is used to acquire antigens from both infectious and non-replicating virions. Exogenous pathways are used by DC to acquire and "cross-present" antigens derived f
