Abstract excerpt
Ag presentation by dendritic cells (DC) is essential to effective antitumor T cell responses in cancer patients. Depending on their origin, maturation state, and the ambient cytokine milieu, DC can differentiate into distinct subpopulations, which preferentially either induce Th1 cell activation (CD11c+,CD123- myeloid DC (MDC)) or immunosuppressive T cell development (CD11c-,CD123+ plasmacytoid DC (PDC)). The...
