摘 要:Dendritic cell(DC)-based vaccines continue to be considered an attractive tool for cancer *** require an additional signal from the environment or other immune cells to polarize the development of immune responses toward T helper 1(Th1)or Th2 *** play a role in natural killer(NK)cell activation,and NK cells are also able to activate and induce the maturation of *** investigated the types of NK cells that can induce the maturation and enhanced function of DCs and the conditions under which these interactions *** that were activated by resting NK cells in the presence of inflammatory cytokines exhibited increased expression of several costimulatory molecules and an enhanced ability to produce *** cell-stimulated DCs potently induced Th1 polarization and exhibited the ability to generate tumor antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte *** data demonstrate that functional DCs can be generated by coculturing immature DCs with freshly isolated resting NK cells in the presence of Toll-like receptor agonists and proinflammatory cytokines and that the resulting DCs effectively present antigens to induce tumor-specific T-cell responses,which suggests that these cells may be useful for cancer immunotherapy.
