Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells are critical for the induction of anti-tumor immunity. Recent studies suggest that some tumors may avoid immune destruction by inhibiting dendritic cell function. In this study, we investigated the effects of uveal melanoma on human dendritic cell phenotype and functions including surface antigen expression, cytokine production, and T cell activation. Dendritic cells were generated in the presence...
