Functional studies on native human dendritic cells (DCs) are
hampered by technical difficulties in preparing fresh DCs. Recently, with the help of the monoclonal antibody M-DC8, we succeeded in isolating a major subpopulation of human blood DCs by a one-step immunomagnetic separation procedure. These cells strongly express Fc RIII (CD16) and Fc RII (CD32) and are quite efficient in the antigen-specific activation of naive T cells. Because some Fc receptor-bearing cell types are known as effector cells in
antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), we investigated
whether M-DC8+ DCs are capable of effectuating ADCC. In
this report we show that freshly prepared M-DC8+ DCs
efficiently mediate tumor-directed ADCC and that both types of Fc
receptors as well as tumor necrosis factor essentially contribute
to the cytotoxic activity. The results provide evidence that, in
addition to their pivotal role in primary T-cell activation, a subset
of blood DCs displays efficient cytotoxicity in ADCC.
