Abstract

Background aims: Dendritic cell (DC)-based immunotherapy has shown potential to counteract autoimmunity in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Methods: We compared the phenotype and T-cell stimulatory capacity of in vitro generated monocyte-derived DC from MS patients with those from healthy controls.

Results: Except for an increase in the number of C-C chemokine receptor 7-expressing DC from MS patients, no major differences were found between groups in the expression of maturation-associated membrane markers or in the in vitro capacity to stimulate autologous T cells.

Conclusions: Our observations may pave the way for the development of patient-tailored DC-based vaccination strategies to treat MS.

Keywords: T cell activation; dendritic cells; immunotherapy; multiple sclerosis.
