## Abstract Insight into the mechanisms by which dendritic cells (DC) present exogenous antigen to T cells is of major importance in the design of vaccines. We examined the effectiveness of free antigen as well as antigen with lipopolysaccharide, emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant, and antige
Vaccines for the prophylactic and/or therapeutic immunization against hepatotropic pathogens (e.g., hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus) should establish long-lasting, specific antiviral effector/memory CD8+ T cell immunity in the liver. We describe a novel peptide-based vaccine in which antigenic maj
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL or CD8) responses are a major branch of the immune system involved in controlling viral infections. Murine models have shown that the development of effective and sustained CD8 cell responses requires CD4 T cell help. However, the precise mechanism in which CD4 cells prov
