Abstract:
Ongoing development of vaccines is limited by the techniques used to identify routes to immunization. Using open system gene expression profiling, researchers can now directly identify receptors used by M-cells in the transport of antigens to the mucosal immune system. These receptors will be ideal for targeted delivery of new synthetic vaccines. In addition, gene expression profiling will provide important new information on the biology of the M-cell and mucosal immune mechanisms.
