RESUMO

This study demonstrates for the first time that vaccination with either autologous or heterologous dendritic cells (DC) pulsed with specific antigen induces protective immune responses against noninvasive bacteria, namely Bordetella pertussis. The DC-mediated protection is associated with strong B. pertussis-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgA responses in the lung.
