2003 DEC 3 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Secretory heat shock protein-mediated antigen targeting increases DNA vaccine potency.

"In an effort to enhance the potency of DNA vaccines, we have developed a new strategy to increase antigen presentation by dendritic cells, one that results in markedly improved cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses, antibody production, and antitumor effects in vivo. Here, we present the rationale and design of a vaccine encoding a secreted antigen-heat shock protein 70 fusion molecule, targeted to the MHC class 1 cross-presentation pathway of dendritic cells," scientists in Austria and the United States report.

"Using the human papillomavirus 16 E7 protein as a model antigen, we illustrate the preparation of this vaccine and the main experimental procedures used to test such constructs," said Hanns Hauser at the University of Vienna in Austria and Si-Yi Chen at Baylor ...
