We developed a technique for direct inguinal lymph node injection in mice to compare various routes of immunization with tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cell (DC) vaccines. Syngeneic, bone marrow-derived, tumor lysate-pulsed DCs administered intranodally generated more potent protective antitumor immunity than s.c. or i.v. DC immunizations. Intranodal immunization with ovalbumin peptide-pulsed DCs induced significantly greater antigen-specific T-lymphocyte expansion in the spleen than either s.c. or i.v. immunization. Furthermore, a significantly more potent, antigen-specific TH1-type response to the ovalbumin peptide was induced by intranodal, compared with s.c. or i.v., immunization. Intranodal immunization, designed to enhance DC-T cell interaction in a lymphoid environment, optimizes induction of T lymphocyte-mediated protective antitumor immunity. These results support the use of intranodal immunization as a feasible and effective route of DC vaccine administration.

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
