Targeted antigen delivery to cross-presenting dendritic cells (DC) in vivo efficiently induces T effector cell responses and displays a valuable approach vaccine design. Antigen is delivered DC via antibodies specific for endocytosis receptors such as DEC-205 that induce uptake, processing, MHC class I- II-presentation. Efficient reliable conjugation of the desired suitable antibody critical st...
