Improving vaccine potency through intercellular spreading and enhanced MHC class I presentation of antigen.
The potency of naked DNA vaccines is limited by their inability to amplify and spread in vivo. VP22, a HSV-1 protein, has demonstrated the remarkable property of intercellular transport and may thus provide a unique approach for enhancing vaccine potency. Therefore, we created a novel fusion of VP22 with a model Ag, human papillomavirus type 16 E7, in a DNA vaccine that generated enhanced sprea...
متن کاملTargeting dendritic cells to enhance DNA vaccine potency.
DNA vaccination that can induce both cellular and humoral immune responses has become an attractive immunization strategy against cancer and infection. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in the induction of immune responses by DNA vaccination. However, a major problem of DNA vaccination is its limited potency, because only a very limited fraction of injected DNA molecules are taken up b...
متن کاملEnhancing Oral Vaccine Potency by Targeting Intestinal M Cells
The immune system in the gastrointestinal tract plays a crucial role in the control of infection, as it constitutes the first line of defense against mucosal pathogens. The attractive features of oral immunization have led to the exploration of a variety of oral delivery systems. However, none of these oral delivery systems have been applied to existing commercial vaccines. To overcome this, a ...
متن کاملExosome targeting of tumor antigens expressed by cancer vaccines can improve antigen immunogenicity and therapeutic efficacy.
MVA-BN-PRO (BN ImmunoTherapeutics) is a candidate immunotherapy product for the treatment of prostate cancer. It encodes 2 tumor-associated antigens, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), and is derived from the highly attenuated modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) virus stock known as MVA-BN. Past work has shown that the immunogenicity of antigens can be improved by...
متن کاملEvaluation of allergen vaccine potency.
The development of reliable and clinically relevant potency assays is essential to the practice of safe and effective allergen-specific immunotherapy. Allergen standardization in the United States is based on the establishment of a national reference assigned with a biological potency unit to which manufacturers' products are compared using validated relative potency assays. This ensures, at le...
