Dendritic cells (cross)dress for success

Immunity. 2022 Jun 14;55(6):965-967. doi: 10.1016/j.immuni.2022.05.016.

Abstract

The relevance of cross-dressing as an antigen presentation mechanism in antitumor responses is not fully understood. In this issue of Immunity, MacNabb et al. (2022) report that dendritic cells use cross-dressing as an effective mechanism to trigger CD8+ T cell antitumor immunity.
