Appropriate activation of naive CD8+ T cells depends on the coordinated interaction of these cells with professional APC that present antigenic peptides in the context of MHC class I molecules. It is accepted that dendritic cells (DC) are efficient in activating naive T cells and are unique in their capacity to prime CD8+ T cell responses against exogenous cell-associated Ags. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether epitopes, derived from endogenously synthesized proteins and presented by MHC class I molecules on the surface of other APC including B cells and macrophages, can activate naive CD8+ T cells in vivo. By infecting transgenic CD11c-DTR/GFP mice that allow conditional depletion of DC with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), which infects all types of APC and elicits a vigorous CTL response, we unambiguously show that priming of LCMV-specific CD8+ T cells is crucially dependent on DC, despite ample presence of LCMV-infected macrophages and B cells in secondary lymphoid organs.
