C-C chemokine–encoding DNA vaccines enhance breakdown of tolerance to their gene products and treat ongoing adjuvant arthritis
1 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
Depending on the method of immunization, a single administration of CFA may result in the development of a local inflammatory process or chronic polyadjuvant-induced arthritis (AA). We administered naked DNA vaccines encoding MIP-1 alpha, MCP-1, MIP-1 beta, and RANTES to Lewis rats and confirmed that each of these vaccines induced immunological memory to the corresponding gene product. Upon induction of disease,...
