Adjuvant effects of a sequence-engineered mRNA vaccine: translational profiling demonstrates similar human and murine innate response

Abstract

Additional file 1: Fig. S1. Components and assembly of the PTE module for innate responses. (A) Top panel—in vivo monocytes continuously emigrate from the blood into peripheral tissues with a half-life in the blood of ~1 day. Bottom panel: In vitro generation of cytokine derived DCs from monocytes involves the addition of IL-4 and GM-CSF and culture for 7–11 days. (B) Schematic of the components of a MIMIC-PTE module. In the 3D PTE, differentiation occurs in hours to about 2 days triggered by migration into and out of (reverse migration) through the endothelium: a process reminiscent of the movement of cells from tissues into lymphatic vessels
