Abstract:Skin is a uniquely accessible and responsive target for vaccine delivery. Emerging evidence suggests that keratinocytes can modulate skin immunity in response to diverse stimuli, producing either proinflammatory or immune suppressive mediators depending on the nature of the exogenous stress. To improve the immunogenicity of skin targeted vaccines, we engineered keratinocytes to support a proinflammatory local environment. Keratinocytes were genetically engineered to express the stress response transcription fa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
