Mechanisms of mouse spleen dendritic cell function in the generation of influenza-specific, cytolytic T lymphocytes
We have evaluated the capacity of dendritic ceUs to function as antigen-presenting cells (APCs) for influenza and have examined their mechanism of action. Virus-pulsed dendritic cells were 100 times more efficent than bulk...

Direct activation of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes by dendritic cells
Inaba, K., Young, J.W., and Steinman, R.M. Direct activation of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes by dendritic cells. J. Exp. Med. 166: 182-194, 1987
Human CD4+ T lymphocytes consistently respond to the latent Epstein- Barr virus nuclear antigen EBNA1
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded nuclear antigen EBNA1 is critical for the persistence of the viral episome in replicating EBV-transformed human B cells. Therefore, all EBV-induced tumors express this foreign antigen....

The cytotoxic T lymphocyte immune synapse at a glance.
The immune synapse provides an important structure for communication with immune cells. Studies on immune synapses formed by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) highlight the dynamic changes and specialised mechanisms required to...

Dendritic cells are accessory cells for the development of anti-trinitrophenyl cytotoxic T lymphocytes
This study establishes that dendritic cells (DC) are the critical accessory cells for the development of anti-trinitrophenol (TNP) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in vitro. We developed a model in which nylon wool-nonadherent...

Preparation of clinical-grade recombinant canarypox-human immunodeficiency virus vaccine-loaded human dendritic cells
Preclinical data are reported that support a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vaccine strategy using recombinant canarypox-HIV vectors (ALVAC-HIV) to load human dendritic cells (DCs) with HIV antigens. Clinical-grade DCs were...

ESAT-6 targeting to DEC205+ antigen presenting cells induces specific-T cell responses against ESAT-6 and reduces pulmonary infection with virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Airways infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is contained mostly by T cell responses, however, Mtb has developed evasion mechanisms which affect antigen presenting cell (APC) maturation/recruitment delaying the onset...

Dendritic cells are accessory cells for the development of anti-trinitrophenyl cytotoxic T lymphocytes
Nussenzweig, M.C., Steinman, R.M., Gutchinov, B., and Cohn, Z.A. Dendritic cells are accessory cells for the development of anti-trinitrophenyl cytotoxic T lymphocytes. J. Exp. Med. 152: 1070-1084, 1980
Rapid generation of broad T-cell immunity in humans after a single injection of mature dendritic cells
Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent antigen-presenting cells that initiate protective T-cell immunity in mice. To study the immunogenicity of DCs in humans, we injected 9 healthy subjects subcutaneously with a control injection of...

Dendritic cells stimulate primary human cytolytic lymphocyte responses in the absence of CD4+ helper T cells
Young, J.W., and Steinman, R.M. Dendritic cells stimulate primary human cytolytic lymphocyte responses in the absence of CD4+ helper T cells. J. Exp. Med. 171: 1315-1332, 1990
Sustained expansion of NKT cells and antigen-specific T cells after injection of ?-galactosyl-ceramide loaded mature dendritic cells in cancer patients
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are distinct glycolipid reactive innate lymphocytes that are implicated in the resistance to pathogens and tumors. Earlier attempts to mobilize NKT cells, specifically, in vivo in humans met with...
