Studies have shown that T-cell-dendritic cell (DC) interaction is required for efficient DC maturation. However, the identities of the molecules that mediate the interaction in vivo are largely unknown. Here, we show that maturation of DCs as well as CD8 T-cell responses were impaired in B7-H1-deficient (B7-H1(-/-)) mice to influenza virus infection. Both defects were restored by transferring B7-H1-expressing naïve T cells into B7-H1(-/-) mice. Similarly, transferring DCs from wild-type mice or ...[more]
