Simple Nanoparticles from the Assembly of Cationic Polymer and Antigen as Immunoadjuvants
Since antigens are negatively charged, they combine well with positively charged adjuvants. Here, ovalbumin (OVA) (0.1 mg·mL−1) and poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) (0.01 mg·mL−1) yielded PDDA/OVA assemblies ...

Cationic and Biocompatible Polymer/Lipid Nanoparticles as Immunoadjuvants
Nanostructures have been of paramount importance for developing immunoadjuvants. They must be cationic and non-cytotoxic, easily assembling with usually oppositely charged antigens such as proteins, haptens or nucleic acids for use in vaccines.

MCSF drives regulatory DC development in stromal co-cultures supporting hematopoiesis [PDF]
Background: Splenic stroma overlaid with hematopoietic progenitors supports in vitro hematopoiesis with production of dendritic-like cells. Co-cultures of murine lineage-depleted bone marrow over the 5G3 stromal line produce two populations of cells ...
