Abstract

Summary: Our improved understanding of how innate immune responses can be initiated and how they can shape adaptive B‐ and T‐cell responses is having a significant impact on vaccine development by directing the development of defined adjuvants. Experience with first generation vaccines, as well as rapid advances in developing defined vaccines containing Toll‐like receptor ligands (TLRLs), indicate that an expanded number of safe and effective vaccines containing such molecules will be available in the future. In this review, we outline current knowledge regarding TLRs, detailing the different cell types that express TLRs, the various signaling pathways TLRs utilize, and the currently known TLRLs. We then discuss the current status of TLRLs within vaccine development programs, including the importance of appropriate formulation, and how recent developments can be used to better define the mechanisms of action of vaccines. Finally, we introduce the possibility of using TLRLs, either in combination or with non‐TLRLs, to synergistically potentiate vaccine‐induced responses to provide not only prophylactic, but therapeutic protection against infectious diseases and cancer.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • TLR9 expression is diverse in mice but restricted to B-cells and plasmacytoid DCs in humans, probably leading to different immunological responses.

    “especially the receptor of CpG, TLR9, is diversely expressed in mice, while in humans its expression is restricted to B-cells and plasmayctoid DCs [124], probably leading to different immunological responses.”

    From Use of lectin-functionalized particles for oral immunotherapy (2012) · cites this paper as [124]

  • Development and identification of appropriate adjuvants and cytokines might effectively remedy defects in T cell functions from older adults, both directly and by better activation of DCs.

    “The development an identification of appropriate adjuvants and cytokines might effectively remedy defects in T cell functions from older adults, both directly and by better activation of DCs (214–216).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
