COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PRIMING MONOCYTIC DENDRITIC CELLS AND T CELLS FOR TH-1 RESPONSE

摘要

The present invention provides compositions and methods for inducing maturation of immature dendritic cells (DC) and for priming those cells for inducing a type 1 immune response. The present invention also provides dendritic cell populations useful for activating and for preparing T cells polarized towards production of type 1 cytokines and/or a type 1 response. Similarly, activated, polarized T cell populations, and methods of making the same are provided.
