Research Abstract |
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common pathogens for immunocompromized patients. Therefore, it is important for the development to treat and prevent for P.aeruginosa-infection. In this study, we investigated the pili-associated vaccine development using dendritic cell. Jaws-II cell was used in this study as dendritic cell. Pulsed Jaws-II cell with synthetic peptide aa.101-120 produced IFN-γ and IL-12 although the other peptides did not induced any cytokines. Furthermore, JawsII cell was matured by stimulation with the peptide aa.101-120. However, co-culture of the stimulated Jaws-II and naive T cells did not show proliferation of T cell and cytokine-production. Further examinations are needed for the development of vaccine using dendritic cell and pili-peptides.
