Induction of dendritic cells (DC) by Flt3 Ligand (FL) promotes the generation of tumor-specific immune responses in vivo

Critical Reviews in Immunology
D H Lynch

Abstract

Daily treatment of mice with human Flt3 ligand (FL) induces the production of large numbers of MHC-class II+, CD11c+, DEC205+ dendritic cells (DC) in both lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues. Because DC play a pivotal role in the induction of immune responses, we evaluated the effects of FL in the augmentation of anti-tumor immune responses in vivo. Treatment with daily subcutaneous injections of FL not only caused complete regression of tumors in a significant proportion of mice challenged with a syngeneic methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma, but also caused a significant decrease in the tumor growth rate in the remaining mice. The effects of FL were both dose and schedule dependent, induced regression of tumors established as much as 7 days prior to beginning cytokine treatment, and was mediated by both T-cell mediated and non-T cell-mediated mechanisms. Histopathologic evaluation of tumors during and after systemic treatment with FL revealed a dense infiltration of mononuclear and myeloid precursor cells into both the tumor and tissue surrounding the tumor that generally correlated with the degree of regression and resolved after rejection of the tumor. Collectively, the data suggest that FL may be an important cytokine in ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
