New Vaccine Strategy

Caption

Dendritic cells, named for the spidery arms that shoot out in all directions, orchestrate and direct immune response. In an effort to explore a potential vaccine strategy, researchers tried to deliver antigens directly to dendritic cell MHC class II molecules (red) using autophagosomes (green). Where the colors overlap (yellow), they hit their target.
