Abstract excerpt
It is generally accepted that after stimulation immature DCs turn into mature DCs, which present exogenous antigens together with their MHC class I molecules and then activate the antigen-specific CTLs. Although both TLR and CD40 stimulation appeared to provide the same effects on DC maturation, CD40-dependent CTL activation is much more potent than CTL activation through LPS stimulation. Despite their different...
