Key Points
• The appropriate migration and differentiation of DCs within the TME is critical for the priming of antigen-specific T-cell responses. There is a need for developing strategies to this end
• The adoptive transfer of hematopoietic stem cells may enhance the migration and differentiation of DCs within the TME
• There is a need to understand the contributions of microglia and astrocytes to the process of antigen presentation in the context of GBM tumors
• Gene delivery of Flt3L and/or GM-CSF to the TME may be employed to enhance differentiation of monocytes into APCs or recruit additional APCs
• Whether and how different APC populations drive T-cell exhaustion is unknown
• Development of models that accurately recapitulate and allow for robust study of antigen presentation in glioma is needed
