One approach to vaccination against tumors is to infect dendritic cells, isolated from patients, with recombinant viruses that are engineered to express large amounts of short peptides within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum that are retained within the endoplasmic reticulum by specific localization signals. The peptides are engineered to correspond in sequence to tumor-associated antigens. These dendritic cells are then reintroduced into the patients as a “vaccine” to induce anti-tumor immune responses. Such a strategy would be employed specifically to...

a. induce secretion of peptides to stimulate antibody responses from tumor-specific B cells

b. generate large numbers of MHC class II-peptide complexes to stimulate tumor-directed CD4+ T cells

c. generate large numbers of MHC class I-peptide complexes to stimulate tumor-directed CD8+ T cells

d. generate large numbers of CD1-peptide complexes to stimulate tumor-directed natural killer cells

e. generate large numbers of MICA-peptide complexes to stimulate tumor-directed neutrophils and macrophages

Keepgoing..whats the answer for this qnwink ?

  #7

sorry for late reply..

yes right

answer is C- generate large numbers of MHC class I-peptide complexes to stimulate tumor-directed CD8+ T cells
