Abstract excerpt
The complement fragment C3d mediates B-cell activation via simultaneous engagement of the B-cell receptor and CD21 by antigen/C3d conjugates. Several studies demonstrated the potential of C3d as a molecular adjuvant for vaccination. In this work, C3d exerted differential effects on humoral immune responses after gene gun immunization of mice with plasmids encoding the malaria blood stage antigen MSP1(42)...
