Especially dendritic cells are effective at display of antigen-derived peptides in the form of immunogenic peptide/MHC complexes to CD4 and CD8-positive T cells, and can stimulate even naive T cells to clonally expand. During the last 40 years, mechanisms that facilitate antigen processing and presentation were clarified, mostly from work in cell lines and mouse models. From mouse-based work, it is now clear that dendritic cells represent a collection of specialized cell subsets that are particularly well endowed to stimulate antigen transport to distinct tissue locations, to transfer antigens between cellular subsets or to trigger T cell responses. Dendritic cell subsets hold great promise for therapeutic application, for example as dendritic cell-based vaccines to bolster immune responses against viruses or malignant growths. Hurdles remain that preclude the efficient application of high quality pre-clinical research into standardized patient care. In this research topic, efforts in dendritic cell research and dendritic cell-based vaccines are discussed, from both pre-clinical and application points of view. 606 $aMedicine and Nursing$2bicssc 610 $aclinical translation 610 $across-presentation 610 $adendritic cell 610 $aImmunotherapy 610 $aVaccination 615 7$aMedicine and Nursing 700 $aMarianne Boes$4auth$01301444 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910227350003321 996 $aApplication of Antigen Cross-Presentation Research into Patient Care$93025856 997 $aUNINA
