Abstract

An easy but robust strategy for the synthesis of bioderived polyelectrolyte nanogels for protein antigen loading and vaccine adjuvant systems that can improve both humoral (Th2) and cellular immunity (Th1) is presented. The synthesized polyelectrolyte nanogels promote the uptake of antigens into antigen-presenting cells and strongly induce ovalbumin-specific INF-γ producing cells, cytotoxic T cell activity, and antibody production.
