Dectin-1-activated dendritic cells trigger potent antitumour immunity through the induction of Th9 cells

Dendritic cells instruct different types of T cell responses depending on the types of microbial ligands sensed. Here the authors show that dendritic cells stimulated via Dectin-1 receptor upregulate TNFSF15 and OX40L and induce T helper 9 response and efficient antitumour immunity in mouse models.
