DENDRITIC CELL PRESENTING alpha-GLYCOSYLCERAMIDE DERIVATIVE AND ANTIGEN AND USABLE IN SUPPRESSING IMMUNE RESPONSE

摘要

A dendritic cell and a cell mixture capable of suppressing an antigen-specific T cell-dependent immune response. The above-described dendritic cell, which can suppress an antigen-specific T cell-dependent immune response, presents an antigen fragment of the above antigen presented against the T cell in the immune reaction and an alpha-glycosylceramide derivative. The above-described cell mixture, which can suppress an antigen-specific T cell-dependent immune response, contains a dendritic cell at least presenting an antigen fragment of the above antigen presented against the T cell in the immune reaction and another dendritic cell at least presenting an alpha-glycosylceramide derivative.
