Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DC) generated after a short-term exposure of monocytes to IFN-alpha and GM-CSF (IFN-DC) are highly effective in inducing cross-priming of CD8(+ )T cells against viral antigens. We have investigated the mechanisms responsible for the special attitude of these DC and compared their activity with that of reference DC. Antigen uptake and endosomal processing capabilities were similar for IFN-DC and...
