Abstract:
Since transfection of dendritic cells (DC) plays a key role in DNA vaccination, in vivo expansion of DC might be a tool to increase vaccine efficacy. We asked whether Fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 ligand (Flt-3L), a growth factor for DC, can be used as an adjuvant for DNA vaccination. Beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) was used as a model antigen in C57BL/6 mice. Mice were immunized i.m. with DNA coding for beta-gal with or without additional injection of Flt-3L. In both cases, antigen-specific CD4+ and...     »
