PG - e115 LID - 10.1002/cpim.115 [doi] AB - Cross-presentation was first observed serendipitously in the 1970s. The importance of it was quickly realized and subsequently attracted great attention from immunologists. Since then, our knowledge of the ability of certain antigen presenting cells to internalize, process, and load exogenous antigens onto MHC-I molecules to cross-prime CD8(+) T cells has increased significantly. Dendritic cells (DCs) are exceptional cross-presenters, thus making them a great tool to study cross-presentation but the relative rarity of DCs in circulation and in tissues makes it challenging to isolate sufficient numbers of cells to study this process in vitro. In this paper, we describe in detail two methods to culture DCs from bone-marrow progenitors and a method to expand the numbers of DCs present in vivo as a source of endogenous bona-fide cross-presenting DCs. We also describe methods to assess cross-presentation by DCs using the activation of primary CD8(+) T cells as a readout. (c) 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
