Characterization of two novel markers involved in cross-presentation by dendritic cell subpopulations in tonsillar tissue and monocyte-derived dendritic cells
Cross-presentation is an essential mechanism of the immune system when it comes to fighting viruses and tumors. Oropharyngeal cancer (OPC), which can affect tonsillar tissue, is highly associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and CD8+ T-cells directed towards killing HPV-infected cells could prove to be a promising treatment of HPV-induced OPCs. In this study, the expression
