Activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in dendritic cells induces IL-1β–dependent adaptive immunity against tumors

TL;DR: It is shown that dying tumor cells release ATP, which then acts on P2X7 purinergic receptors from DCs and triggers the NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing-3 protein (NLRP3)-dependent caspase-1 activation complex ('inflammasome'), allowing for the secretion of interleukin-1 β (IL-1β).
Journal ArticleDOI

Antigen Persistence Is Required for Dendritic Cell Licensing and CD8+ T Cell Cross-Priming

TL;DR: By providing “extra help” in the form of dendritic cells (DCs) loaded with MHC class II peptide, it was possible to achieve robust activation of CD8+ T cells, implying that long-lived Ag is critical for efficient vaccination protocols in which the CD8- T cell response is helper-dependent.
