α2-macroglobulin co-administered in vivo promotes antigen delivery and presentation
Administered in vivo, covalent receptor-recognized α2-macroglobulin (α2M)-antigen complexes enhance humoral and cell-mediated immunity. We hypothesized that in vivo α2M-encapsulation could be promoted in the setting of vaccines that co-deliver α2M with unbound antigen, thereby eliminating the need to prepare complexes in vitro. Mice immunized intradermally with co-delivered α2M and OVA demonstr...
متن کاملStrong Immune Responses Induced by a DNA Vaccine Containing HPV16 Truncated E7 C-terminal Linked to HSP70 Gene
Background: Vaccines capable of controlling tumor virus based infections are found difficult to develop due to the consistence latent infection in the host. DNA vaccines are attractive tools for the development of HPV vaccines and inducing antigen-specific immunity owing to the stability, simplicity of delivery, safety and cost effectiveness. However, there is a need to increase their potency b...
متن کاملEffect of pleurotus sajor-caju polysaccharide encapsulated in poly D, L lactide-co-glycolide nanoparticles for HPV vaccine in murine model
Objective(s): In the current work, poly D, L lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) particles were applied for a viral vaccine for the delivery of antigens in cytosolic pathway by increasing the antigen presentation to T-lymphocytes. HPV-E7 protein with PLGA particles has been reported as a potent adjuvant for HPV vaccine by encapsulating protein into the PLGA particles. Polysaccharide from Pleurotus sajo...
متن کاملEvaluation of Specific Purified TCR Effect on the Immunoregulatory Potential of TGF-beta
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b) is a mediator released by nearly all cell types. It has suppression activity on the immune system, but exactly how this effect is carried out is not clear. Previous experiments showed that IgG interacts with or carriers active TGF-b, that could suppresses cytotoxic T-cell responses to an immunogenic tumor in mice. Since T cell receptor (TCR) has structura...
متن کاملEvaluation of Cell Mediated Immunity following Rubella Vaccination Using Lymphocyte Proliferation
Background and Aims: Rubella is predominantly a childhood disease that is endemic throughout the world and when rubella outbreaks occur, they are accompanied by birth defects following congenital rubella syndrome. Immunity to rubella virus as a teratogenic agent has an important role for prevention of these serious congenital defects. Lymphocyte proliferation assay is a way for investigation of...
