Abstract Immunotherapy using dendritic cells (DCs) has the potential to activate both T cells and NK cells. We previously demonstrated the long-lasting antitumor responses by NK cells following immunization with bone marrow-derived DCs. In the current study, we demonstrate that long-term antitumor NK responses require endogenous DCs and a subset of effector memory CD4(+) T (CD4(+) T(EM)) cells. One month after DC immunization, injection of a tumor into DC-immunized mice leads to an increase in the expression of CXCL10 by endogenous DCs, thus directing NK cells into the white pulp where the endogenous DCs bridged CD4(+) T(EM) cells and NK cells. In this interaction, CD4(+) T(EM) cells express CD40L, which matures the endogenous DCs, and produce cytokines, such as IL-2, which activates NK cells. These findings suggest that DC vaccination can sustain long-term innate NK cell immunity but requires the participation of the adaptive immune system.
