Data on the uptake of reducible antigen-adjuvant conjugates by dendritic cells

Abstract

This article contains the uptake data of two reducible antigen-adjuvant conjugates with different sensitivities to the extracellular and intracellular reductive environment. Using a linker with different redox sensitivity the adjuvant cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) was conjugated to the fluorescently labeled model tumour antigen ovalbumin (OVA). The uptake of the conjugates by dendritic cells in a total splenocyte culture was determined using flow cytometry. The data presented in this paper supports the finding in the research article “Intracellular cleavable CpG oligodeoxynucleotide – antigen conjugate enhances anti-tumour immunity” (Kramer et al., 2016) [1].
