Dendritic cells are equipped for sensing danger signals, capturing, processing and presenting antigens to naïve or effector cells and are critical in inducing humoral and adaptive immunity. Successful vaccinations are those that activate DC to elicit both cellular and humoral responses as well as long lasting memory response against the target of interest. Recently it has become apparent that tumor cells can provide new sources of antigens through non-synonymous mutations or frame-shift mutations, leading to potentially hundreds of mutation-derived tumor antigens (MTA) or neoantigens. T cells recognizing MTA have been detected in cancer patients and can even lead to tumor regression. Designing MTA-specific vaccination strategies will have to take into account the adjuvant activity of DC subsets and the best formulation to elicit an effective immune response. Here we discuss the potential of human DC to prime MTA-specific responses.
