| Research Abstract |
We analyzed the effects of agonistic anti-TLR4 mAb in vivo and in vitro. Anti-TLR4 agonistic mAb showed ajuvant effects in vivo. However, pre-injection of this agonistic mAb inhibited antibody production upon subsequent immunization. Cellular analysis revealed that this inhibitory effects was not due to the defect in antigen presentation to T cells but due to the defect in B cell priming. This finding will provide important information for the vaccine development and clinical use.
