Another method to colocalize potent APCs with tumor antigens and T cells is to use genes that encode the chemoattractants for these cells. For example, secondary lymphoid chemokine (SLC), normally expressed in high endothelial venules and in T-cell zones of spleen and lymph nodes, strongly attracts naive T cells and DCs, colocalizing these early immune response constituents and cul-...
