MODIFIED DENDRITIC CELLS

摘要

Infection of a dendritic cell with a lentivirus impairs the dendritic cell's ability to act as an antigen presenting cell that polarizes a naïve T cell to develop along the Th1 pathway. This impairment is restored by infecting dendritic cells with lentiviruses containing vectors encoding IL-7, IL-12, and siRNA targeting IL-10 RNA.
