Figure 1 For Immune-Mediated Tumor Control, Dendritic Cells First, Effector T Cells to Follow Immune control of tumor growth relies on tumor-reactive effector T cells, with intratumoral Batf3-dependent CD103+ DCs as crucial instigators. These DCs must reach the tumor first—depicted here highest on the podium—as they generate chemokine signals (mainly CXCL9 and CXCL10) that result in effector T cell recruitment to the tumor and, ultimately, cancer control.
