PG - 437-42 AB - Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that play crucial roles as initiators and modulators of adaptive immune responses. Although DC-based vaccines have been utilized successfully to generate cytolytic T-cell activity against tumor antigens (Ags), evidence has accumulated that DCs also have potent capabilities to tolerize T cells in an Ag-specific manner. DCs cultured in the laboratory can suppress auto- or alloimmunity. Current and prospective strategies to promote this inherent tolerogenic potential of DCs might prove to be important for the therapy of transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases.
