Dendritic cells are pivotal antigen-presenting cells for generating
adaptive T-cell responses. Here, we show that dendritic cells belonging
to either the myeloid-related or lymphoid-related subset are permissive
for infection by mouse polyomavirus and, when loaded with a peptide
corresponding to the immunodominant anti-polyomavirus CD8+
T-cell epitope or infected by polyomavirus, are each capable of driving
expansion of primary polyomavirus-specific CD8+ T-cell
responses in vivo.
