Cross-presentation allows antigen-presenting cells to present exogenous antigens to CD8(+) T cells, playing an essential role in controlling infections and tumor development. IFN-alpha induces the rapid differentiation of human monocytes into dendritic cells, known as IFN-DCs, highly efficient in mediating cross-presentation, as well as the crosspriming of CD8(+) T cells. Here, we have investigated the mechanisms underlying the cross-presentation ability of IFN-DCs by studying the intracellular sorting of soluble ovalbumin and nonstructural-3 protein of hepatitis C virus. Our results demonstrate that, independently from the route and mechanism of antigen entry, IFN-DCs are extraordinarily competent in preserving internalized proteins from early degradation and in routing antigens toward the MHC class-I processing pathway, allowing long-lasting, cross-priming capacity. In IFN-DCs, both early and recycling endosomes function as key compartments for the storage of both antigens and MHC-class Imolecules and for proteasome- and transporter-associated with Ag processing-dependent auxiliary cross-presentation pathways. Because IFN-DCs closely resemble human DCs naturally occurring in vivo in response to infections and other danger signals, these findings may have important implications for the design of vaccination strategies in neoplastic or chronic infectious diseases.
