Background In order to compensate for the paucity of defined tumor antigens (Ag) in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, a promising approach might be the use of whole tumor cells as a source of tumor Ag to pulse antigen-presenting cells (APC). However, it is not presently known how the tumor cells should be delivered to APC to optimize the cross-presentation of tumor Ag to anti-tumor CD8 T cells. We aimed to compare CD20-opsonized, apoptotic and necrotic human tumor cells for their capacity to induce endocytosis and cross-presentation of tumor-associated Ag by dendritic cells (DC) or macrophages. Methods Endocytosis of human tumor-derived material by macrophages or DC was monitored by flow cytometry. We used a previously described influenza model and studied cross-presentation of viral Ag as cellular surrogate tumor-associated Ag by APC after endocytosis of lymphoma B cells treated by inactivated influenza virus. Results Optimal endocytosis was obtained when tumor cells were opsonized by an anti-CD20 antibody and, as expected, macrophages were more phagocytic than DC. However, Ag from opsonized, apoptotic and live cells, but not from necrotic lymphoma cells, were efficiently cross-presented by DC but not by macrophages. Discussion We have developed a new model with human primary lymphoma cells to study the cross-presentation of tumor-associated Ag by APC. The results we have obtained support the use of whole lymphoma cells from patients to pulse DC to induce an anti-tumor immune response.
