Adenoviruses Activate Human Dendritic Cells without Polarization toward a T-Helper Type 1-Inducing Subset

Abstract excerpt

Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DC) infected with recombinant adenoviruses (rAd) are promising candidate vaccines for inducing protective immunity against pathogens and tumors. However, since some viruses are known to negatively affect DC function, it is important to investigate the interactions between rAd and DC. We now show that infection by rAd enhances the immunostimulatory capacity of immature human...
