Dendritic Cells and Their Role in Cancer Immunotherapy

Ahmad Jalili

Volume 4, Issue 3 , December 2007, Pages 127-144

Abstract
  Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen presenting cells with unique capability to take up and process antigens in the peripheral blood and tissues. They subsequently migrate to draining lymph nodes where they present these antigens and stimulate naive T lympho-cytes. During their life cycle, DCs go through ...  Read More
