Description

Splenic CD8α⁺ dendritic cells (DCs) have been described as key antigen presenting cells for the induction of CD8⁺ T cell responses to circulating antigen. This is through a heightened capacity to acquire and present the antigens via the process of cross-presentation, expression of high levels of the co-stimulatory and adhesion molecules required to stimulate CD8⁺ T cells, and the capacity to release high levels of the cytokines required to drive differentiation of CD8⁺ T cells into cytotoxic ...
