We recently reported that parenteral injection of malaria palmitoyl-tailed peptides without adjuvant efficiently induces B, Th and CTL responses. We now show that intranasal (IN) or sub-lingual (SL) delivery of such lipopeptides induces strong systemic immune responses, as demonstrated by specific T
## Abstract Tβcell activation, differentiation and effector functions depend on signals delivered through the antigenβspecific TCR and nonβclonal costimulatory receptors on the Tβcell. Activated Tβcells express the inducible costimulator (ICOS). We examined the coβexpression of ICOS with Th cytokin
