| Abstract | Activation of immune cells through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs) or NOD-like receptors (NLRs), has been identified as a key issue in the development of new efficient vaccine adjuvants. We report here on the elaboration and immunostimulatory potential of polylactide (PLA)-based micelles core-loaded with imiquimod TLR7 ligand and able to be further surface-functionalized with antigenic protein (HIV-1 Gag p24) for antigen delivery purpose.Micelles prepared from poly(D,L-lactide)-b-poly(N-acryloxysuccinimide-co-N-vinylpyrrolidone) amphiphilic copolymer were incubated in the presence of imiquimod, leading to 1.2 wt% loading, and further conjugated to p24 antigen through reaction of p24 lysines and N-terminal amine with the N-succinimidyl pendant groups of the micelle corona. The impact of imiquimod encapsulation in the micelles on its immunostimulatory properties was investigated in vitro, by monitoring: (i) the NF-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathways through experiments with RAW-Blue™ cells, a mouse macrophage cell line encoding an NF-κB/AP-1-inducible reporter construct; (ii) human dendritic cells (DCs) maturation markers by flow cytometry.RAW-Blue™ cells based experiments showed that imiquimod encapsulated in the micelles was much more efficient to activate the NF-κB and MAPK pathways than free imiquimod. Furthermore, encapsulated imiquimod was found to induce much higher maturation of DCs than the free analog. Finally, these immunostimulatory properties of the loaded imiquimod were shown to be conserved when the p24 antigen was coupled at the micelle surface.Taken together, these data regarding improved immunostimulatory efficiency suggest the strong potential of our micelle-based nano-system for vaccine delivery. |

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.
