Methods for identifying dendritic cell subsets, for determining if a patient is developing a regulatory or an effector immune response, and for determining response to immunotherapy

摘要

The present invention concerns methods for determining if a dendritic cell belongs to a tolerogenic dendritic cell subset or to an effector dendritic cell subset, and methods for determining if a patient undergoing immunotherapy, and/or who has been administered with a vaccine, is developing an immune response oriented either towards a regulatory T cell response or towards an effector T cell response, and methods of determining response to immunotherapy.
