Rational Design of Vaccination Strategies to Promote Antigen Entry into the MHC Class I-Restricted Presentation Pathway

TL;DR: Current knowledge on the mechanisms used by professional APCs in the processing and presentation of endogenous and exogenous antigens in the context of MHC class I molecules are summarized (i.e. priming and cross-priming).
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient phagocytosis of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains that poorly bind to human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that PMN can phagocytize unopsonized bacteria through two different mechanisms, by one mechanism, observed with the fimbriated E. coli strain, PMN bind many more bacteria than those they can internalize, and by the other, observation with PSK strains, PMn bind only the bacteria they can immediately internalize.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimizing rational vaccine design.

TL;DR: Considering the present state of the art, a subunit vaccine will probably be the strategy of choice, as the replacement of whole cell vaccines or semi‐crude antigen preparations by well‐defined antigens has dramatically improved their safety profile.
