Antitumor Monoclonal Antibodies Enhance Cross-Presentation of Cellular Antigens and the Generation of Myeloma-specific Killer T Cells by Dendritic Cells

The mechanism of antitumor effect of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is not fully understood. Here we show that coating myeloma cells with anti–syndecan-1 antibody promotes cross-presentation of cellular antigens by dendritic cells (DCs) to autologous T cells from healthy donors. The tumor cells treate...
