Cover Story: Conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1) superiorly prime antigen-specific cytotoxic T cells and activate NK cells. Accordingly, multiple approaches have been tested, aiming for their use in antitumor vaccines: genetically modifying tumor cells to express the cDC1-recruiting chemokine XCL1; in vivo targeting of tumor antigens to restricted markers, such as CLEC9A or XCR1; ex vivo differentiation from hematopoietic CD34+ precursors or from induced pluripotent stem cells; and direct reprograming from fibroblasts. Although in its beginnings, the clinical exploitation of cDC1 to empower antitumor immunotherapies is a highly promising field. View this paper.
