Cross-dressing, in immunology, is a term originally coined to indicate the transfer of peptide-MHC complexes belonging to neighboring cells on antigen presenting cells. We have recently shown that plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are particularly suited to be cross-dressed by tumor cells and that this phenomenon provides a unique pathway for abundant presentation of tumor antigens by pDCs

Abstract
Cross-dressing, in immunology, is a term originally coined to indicate the transfer of peptide-MHC complexes belonging to neighboring cells on antigen presenting cells. We have recently shown that plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are particularly suited to be cross-dressed by tumor cells and that this phenomenon provides a unique pathway for abundant presentation of tumor antigens by pDCsFile in questo prodotto:
