Abstract excerpt
Previous studies demonstrated that IL-12-driven antitumor activity is short-circuited by a rapid switch in dendritic cell (DC) function from immunogenic to tolerogenic activity. This process was dependent on IFN-γ and the tolerogenic phenotype was conferred by IDO. Extended monitoring of IDO(+) DC in the tumor-draining lymph nodes of IL-12 plus GM-CSF-treated tumor-bearing mice revealed that whereas IFN-γ...
