Dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccines require the cells to relocate to lymph nodes (LNs). Unfortunately, however, DC migration rates are typically very poor. We investigated strategies to increase the migration efficacy of DC-based vaccines. Surprisingly, a reduction in DC number, but not the conditioning of the injection site, improved LN targeting.
基于树突状细胞(DC)的疫苗需要这些细胞迁移至淋巴结(LN)。然而,不幸的是,DC的迁移率通常非常低。我们研究了提高基于DC的疫苗迁移效率的策略。令人惊讶的是,DC数量的减少而非注射部位的预处理改善了对LN的靶向性。
