TB antigen-loaded DC1s are potent inducers of antigen-specific T-cells, which could be used to develop improved immunotherapies of TB.

Wereport a male patient with lupoid hepatitis whodeveloped primary liver cell cancer 8 years after the onset of lupoid hepatitis. Primary liver cell cancer is thought to be a rare complication of lupoid hepatitis.To our konwledge, this complication has been previously reported in only 6 patients. The etiology of chronic active hepatitis is not known, but is strongly suspected to be associated with an autoimmunemechanism. There is evidence of an increased incidence of malignancy in other forms of autoimmune disease, and this may represent a further contributing factor to the development of primary liver cell cancer in cases of chronic active hepatitis.
