Abstract

The cellular requirements for generating potent human CD8+ CTLs to influenza A virus in vitro have been defined. Furthermore, we have developed improved methods for generating large numbers of DCs from non-proliferating progenitors. These developments have enabled the design of new strategies to elicit CTLs in vivo. For example together with IL-12, antigen-pulsed DCs may be a useful approach for boosting CTL responses against infectious agents and malignancies. Our results also reopen the potential use of inactivated virus preparations as immunogens for CTL responses.
