PG - 663-70 AB - Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells playing a pivotal role in the induction of humoral and cellular immune responses, and chronic myeloid leukemia-derived DCs (CML-DCs) are possible candidates for inducing anti-leukemic immunity. This review describes phenotypic and functional features of DCs derived from CML patients as compared with DCs from healthy volunteers. In short, distinct deficiencies have been reported for CML-DCs, such as reduced migration, endocytosis, phagocytosis, antigen processing, DC maturation and cytokine production. DC abnormalities of CML patients can be abrogated by proper in vitro stimulation of leukemic DCs. This underscores the importance of proper generation and maturation of CML-DCs when considering clinical vaccination protocols.
