Overview of the experimental procedure to assess the contribution of dendritic cells to immunogenicity. The common starting point of the assays is the PBMC isolation according to standard protocols. CD14+ cells isolation and differentiation into immature moDCs are also shared between the procedures. Immature moDCs are challenged with the treatment as described in Material and Methods for the DC internalization and DC activation assays. Matured moDCs are used for MHC-II Associated Peptide Proteomics (MAPPs).
