Anticancer Teamwork: Cross-Presenting Dendritic Cells Collaborate with Therapeutic Monoclonal Antibodies

Cancer Discov. 2016 Jan;6(1):17-9. doi: 10.1158/2159-8290.CD-15-1366.

Abstract

Cross-presentation of tumor antigens represents a key pathway in antitumor immune responses that can be exploited to synergize not only with the already prominent "checkpoint blockade," but also with newer attempts to use T-cell stimulatory monoclonal antibodies in immunotherapy.
