Papillomavirus virus‐like particles induce cytokines characteristic of innate immune responses in plasmacytoid dendritic cells
15 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
Human papillomavirus (HPV) virus-like particles (VLP) are being extensively tested as vaccines for the prevention of HPV-associated cervical cancer. Dendritic cells (DC) acquire and present antigens, initiating innate and adaptive immune responses. It has been shown previously that DC of the myeloid lineage are capable of generating adaptive immune responses to HPV VLP in vitro. However, the capacity of...
