M cell-targeted DNA vaccination.
DNA immunization, although attractive, is poor for inducing mucosal immunity, thus limiting its protective value against most infectious agents. To surmount this shortcoming, we devised a method for mucosal transgene vaccination by using an M cell ligand to direct the DNA vaccine to mucosal inductive tissues and the respiratory epithelium. This ligand, reovirus protein final sigma1, when conjug...
متن کاملM cell DNA vaccination for CTL immunity to HIV.
To facilitate invasion, reovirus has evolved to attach to M cells, a specialized epithelium residing within the follicle-associated epithelium that covers mucosal inductive tissues. Thus, we questioned adapting reovirus protein sigma1 to ferry DNA vaccines to the mucosa to immunize against HIV. Three expression plasmids encoding HIV(Ba-L) gp160, cytoplasmic gp140, and secreted gp140 were tested...
متن کاملCell-targeted self-assembled DNA nanostructures.
We present two strategies for attaching self-assembled DNA arrays to the surfaces of cells. Our first approach uses biotin-streptavidin interactions to bind DNA architectures to biotinylated cells. The second approach takes advantage of specific antibody-cell surface interactions, conjugated arrays and the subsequent binding to native epidermal growth factor receptors expressed on cancer cells....
متن کاملCEA Plasmid as Therapeutic DNA Vaccination against Colorectal Cancer
Background: Human colorectal cancer cells overexpress carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). CEA is a glycoprotein which has shown to be a promising vaccine target for immunotherapy against colorectal cancer. Objective: To design a DNA vaccine harboring CEA antigen and evaluate its effect on inducing immunity against colorectal cancer cells in tumor bearing mice. <str...
متن کاملCorrigendum. CD4+ T cell-independent DNA vaccination against opportunistic infections.
Depletion or dysfunction of CD4+ T lymphocytes profoundly perturbs host defenses and impairs immunogenicity of vaccines. Here, we show that plasmid DNA vaccination with a cassette encoding antigen (OVA) and a second cassette encoding full-length CD40 ligand (CD40L), a molecule expressed on activated CD4+ T lymphocytes and critical for T cell helper function, can elicit significant titers of ant...
