| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, we selected magnesium pyrophosphate particle (MgPP), and loaded polyI:C, an immunostimulatory nucleic acid, to MgPP to develop an adjuvant system. PolyI:C was loaded to MgPP by adding polyI:C to the MgPP preparation step. Loading polyI:C to MgPP enhanced the uptake of polyI:C by immune cells and following cytokine release. Moreover, the addition of polyI:C-loaded MgPP containing an antigen to dendritic cells resulted in improved antigen presentation.
