## Abstract To determine the optimal timing for influenza vaccination in pregnant women, we measured alterations in the types 1 and 2 T helper cell (Th1/Th2) balance during pregnancy, monitored specific immunity to inoculated antigens after vaccination with inactivated influenza vaccine, evaluated
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in the initiation and regulation of immune responses. Recent advances have begun to uncover the nature and diversity of DC-pathogen interactions and the modulation of DC function by microbial stimuli. Antigen pulsed DCs have also been shown in several infec
