Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Tumors may shift the phenotype and function of dendritic cells (DC) toward the induction of tolerance. In the status of full maturity, DC express a multitude of T cell costimulatory molecules enabling them to induce immune reactions, whereas nonactivated resident DC lack these T cell stimulating capacities. Therefore, we investigated the changes in DC phenotype and expression of B7-H molecules...
