The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of transcutaneous immunization with tumor antigen to induce cell-mediated immunity. For this purpose, hydrophilic recombinant gp100 protein (HR-gp100) was topically applied on human intact skin in vitro, and used as a vaccine in a mouse model. We demonstrate that HR-gp100 permeates into human skin, and is processed and presented by human dendritic cells. In a mouse model, an HR-gp100-based vaccine triggered antigen-specific T cell responses, as shown by proliferation assays, ELISA and intracellular staining for IFN-γ. Transcutaneous antigen delivery may provide a safe, simple and effective method to elicit cell-mediated immunity.
本研究旨在评估经皮免疫肿瘤抗原诱导细胞免疫的潜力。为此,我们在体外将亲水性重组 gp100 蛋白(HR-gp100)经皮应用于人体完整皮肤,并将其作为疫苗用于小鼠模型。我们证明 HR-gp100 能够渗透进入人体皮肤,并由人树突状细胞进行加工和呈递。在小鼠模型中,基于 HR-gp100 的疫苗引发了抗原特异性 T 细胞反应,这可通过增殖试验、ELISA 和 IFN-γ的细胞内染色来证明。经皮抗原传递可能为诱导细胞免疫提供一种安全、简单和有效的方法。
