The DC are sensitive to a wide range of these stimuli that serve not only to activate innate immunity via the release of chemokines and proinflammatory mediators, but also trigger DC migration towards local lymphoid tissue in order to generate antigen-specific (adaptive) immunity. 37, 38 For the Langerhans cell, activation is also accompanied by the loss of specific markers, such as cutaneous lymphocyte antigen (CLA) and Birbeck granules, along with altered surface expression of cell adhesion molecules that facilitate movement into the afferent lymph. 138 Flt-3 is able to induce protective antitumour immunity in some animal models, 139, 140 which is thought to be a consequence of increased presentation of tumour antigens combined with increased NK cell activity.
