| Abstract | Purpose. Our purpose was to evaluate the ability of a polymeric vehicle to release a model synthetic vaccine to the skin in order to reach a potent activation of the specific immune response. Methods. The peptide-loaded poly-$_{d,l}$-lactide-co-glycolide acid (PLGA) microparticles were prepared by a double emulsion technique and administered to Balb/c mice. The immune response (antibody and T cell activation) obtained by the intradermal (i.d.) and the subcutaneous (s.c.) routes was tested. Results. When similar doses of peptide-loaded microparticles were injected s.c. or i.d. in mice, the antipeptide IgG antibody immune response was found to be significantly higher after i.d. injection into the skin. We could also reduce the dose of antigen 10 times by the i.d. route and find a similar antibody response to that obtained by the s.c. immunization. At the lowest i.d. dose level, the IgG2a/IgG1 ratio was also incremented and the IgE production decreased. The i.d. microparticles induced, at both dose levels, a marked IFN-γ secretion by peptide-stimulated splenocytes and lymph node cells and a significant T cell proliferation in spleen cell cultures. Conclusions. The results demonstrate that peptide-loaded microparticles were efficiently administered by the i.d. route because lower doses were required and powerful antibody and T cell responses were obtained compared to the conventional s.c. administration. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
