Antigen-specific immune responses to influenza vaccine in utero.
Initial immune responses to allergens may occur before birth, thereby modulating the subsequent development of atopy. This paradigm remains controversial, however, due to the inability to identify antigen-specific T cells in cord blood. The advent of MHC tetramers has revolutionized the detection of antigen-specific T cells. Tetramer staining of cord blood after CMV infection has demonstrated t...

متن کاملSynergy of vaccine strategies to amplify antigen-specific immune responses and antitumor effects.
Several different vaccine strategies have been evaluated and combined in an attempt to amplify T-cell responses toward induction of antitumor immunity. The model tumor antigen used was carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). While initial T-cell activation studies were conducted in conventional mice, combined vaccine strategy studies and antitumor studies were conducted in transgenic mice in which CEA ...
متن کاملA novel M cell–specific carbohydrate-targeted mucosal vaccine effectively induces antigen-specific immune responses
Mucosally ingested and inhaled antigens are taken up by membranous or microfold cells (M cells) in the follicle-associated epithelium of Peyer's patches or nasopharynx-associated lymphoid tissue. We established a novel M cell-specific monoclonal antibody (mAb NKM 16-2-4) as a carrier for M cell-targeted mucosal vaccine. mAb NKM 16-2-4 also reacted with the recently discovered villous M cells, b...
متن کاملComparative Evaluation of Mx and Alum as Bio and Conventional Adjuvants in Inducing Immune Responses by Influenza DNA Vaccine
Background & Objective: DNA vaccines as a new generation of vaccines require adjuvant to improve vaccine immunogenicity; adjuvants can also increase the DNA vaccine efficacy. In this study, the effects of the host’s interferon-inducible Mx protein as bio adjuvant and conventional alum adjuvant were evaluated. Materials & Methods: The BALB/c mice were immunized by different prime-boost strate...
