Immunostimulation of dendritic cells by cationic liposomes.

TL;DR: A nano-aggregate liposome-polycation-DNA (LPD), composed of a cationic lipid, protamine and plasmid DNA was found to effectively deliver a human papillomavirus-E7 epitope antigen to the antigen presenting cells of the immune system, eliciting enhanced anti-tumor immune responses in mouse models of cervical carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combined effects of IL-12 and electroporation enhances the potency of DNA vaccination in macaques.

TL;DR: A pilot study in rhesus macaques suggests that adjuvant and improved delivery methods may be able to overcome previous immunogenicity limitations in DNA vaccine technology.
Journal ArticleDOI

The TLR-4 agonist adjuvant, GLA-SE, improves magnitude and quality of immune responses elicited by the ID93 tuberculosis vaccine: first-in-human trial.

TL;DR: A tuberculosis vaccine containing an immunity-potentiating agent stimulated strong immune responses in a first-in-human trial and demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and indicated that the GLA-SE adjuvant drives a functional humoral and T-helper 1 type cellular response.
