Human immature dendritic cells express on their cell surface four different cytotoxic TNF family ligands: TNF, lymphotoxin-alpha(1)beta(2), Fas ligand, and TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand; while cancer cells express the corresponding death receptors. Disruptions of interactions between the four ligands expressed on DCs and corresponding death-signaling receptors expressed on cancer cells using specific Abs or R:Fc fusion proteins block the cytotoxic activity of DCs directed against cancer cells.
