Unanue, Washington University, St. Louis, MO, and approved July 26, 2016 (received for review April 12, 2016) The mannose receptor (MR) is an endocytic receptor involved in Results serum homeostasis and antigen presentation. Here, we identify + + The Presence of the MR on DCs Reduces Cytotoxic Activity of CD8 T the MR as a direct regulator of CD8 T-cell activity. We demonstrate Cells. To investigate whether the MR influences T-cell activation that MR expression on dendritic cells (DCs) impaired T-cell cytotox- by means distinct from antigen presentation, we made use of + icity in vitro and in vivo.

Because diated by a direct interaction with CD45 on the T cell, inhibiting its these T cells recognize endogenous proteins (5), the presentation of phosphatase activity, which resulted in up-regulation of cytotoxic such antigens is independent of MR-mediated endocytosis.
