DEC-205 is a cell surface receptor for CpG oligonucleotides
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have recently demonstrated that synthetic CpG oligonucleotides (ODNs), which function as potent immunostimulators, bind to the multi-lectin receptor DEC-205, resulting in their internalization. DEC-205-deficient mice exhibit impaired dendritic-cell and B-cell maturation, impaired cytokine responses and suboptimal cytotoxic T-cell responses. As murine and human DEC-205 are highly conserved, CpG ODNs destined to clinical applications should be designed to maximize DEC-205 binding.

Targeting of antigens to activated dendritic cells in vivo cures metastatic melanoma in mice.
Anti (alpha)-DEC-205 antibodies target to the DEC-205 receptor that mediates antigen presentation to T cells by dendritic cells. To exploit these properties for immunization purposes, we conjugated the melanoma antigen tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)-2 to alphaDEC-205 antibodies and immunized mice with these conjugates together with dendritic cell-activating oligonucleotides (CpG). Upon inject...
متن کاملThe impact of nanoparticle ligand density on dendritic-cell targeted vaccines.
Dendritic-cell (DC) targeted antigen delivery systems hold promise for enhancing vaccine efficacy and delivery of therapeutics. However, it is not known how the number and density of targeting ligands on such systems may affect DC function and subsequent T cell response. We modified the surface of biodegradable nanoparticles loaded with antigen with different densities of the mAb to the DC lect...
متن کاملThe Dendritic Cell Receptor for Endocytosis, Dec-205, Can Recycle and Enhance Antigen Presentation via Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II–Positive Lysosomal Compartments
Many receptors for endocytosis recycle into and out of cells through early endosomes. We now find in dendritic cells that the DEC-205 multilectin receptor targets late endosomes or lysosomes rich in major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) products, whereas the homologous macrophage mannose receptor (MMR), as expected, is found in more peripheral endosomes. To analyze this finding, th...
متن کاملRobust T-cell stimulation by Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B cells after antigen targeting to DEC-205.
DEC-205 is a type I transmembrane multilectin receptor that is predominantly expressed on dendritic cells (DCs). Therefore, previous studies primarily focused on processing of DEC-205–targeted antigens by this potent antigen presenting cell type. Here we show that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformed lymphoblastoid B-cell lines (LCLs) not only express DEC-205 at similar levels to DCs, but also ...
متن کاملExpression of multilectin receptors and comparative FITC-dextran uptake by human dendritic cells.
Dendritic cells (DC) are potent antigen-presenting cells and understanding their mechanisms of antigen uptake is important for loading DC with antigen for immunotherapy. The multilectin receptors, DEC-205 and macrophage mannose receptor (MMR), are potential antigen-uptake receptors; therefore, we examined their expression and FITC-dextran uptake by various human DC preparations. The RT-PCR anal...
