Scholz C et al. - Functional data provided further evidence for the immature/tolerogenic properties of Gd-pretreated DCs. Antigen uptake was retained, production of interleukin-10 was increased, and lymphoproliferative activity was reduced. This effect was reversible by adding Gd-blocking antibodies. Gd, which is found in the malignant ascites of ovarian cancer patients, induces a tolerogenic phenotype in DC, thereby shaping an immunodeficient tumor micromilieu.
