Abstract in Portuguese
As células dendríticas (DCs) são críticas no processo de indução de imunidade e tolerância periférica. Estas células apresentam inúmeros receptores em sua superfície e podem ser classificadas em diferentes subpopulações de acordo com a expressão dos mesmos. Anticorpos monoclonais dirigidos contra diferentes receptores celulares vêm sendo utilizados com sucesso no tratamento de patologias como câncer. Nos últimos dez anos, demonstrou-se que é possível enviar antígenos diretamente para o receptor DEC205 presente na superfície das DCs. Quando isso acontece na ausência de estímulo inflamatório, o resultado é a indução de tolerância imunológica. Quando o antígeno é enviado a estas mesmas células na presença de um estímulo inflamatório, o resultado é a indução de uma forte resposta imunológica. Geramos um anticorpo aDEC205 em fusão com a proteína 2 de superfície dos amastigotas (ASP-2) de Trypanosoma cruzi e estudamos o efeito da administração deste anticorpo in vivo na presença de diferentes adjuvantes em duas linhagens distintas de camundongos. Observamos que ambas as linhagens de camundongos não foram capazes de gerar anticorpos, mas a resposta imune celular foi suficiente para reduzir a parasitemia quando desafiados com tripomastigotas cepa Y de Trypanosoma cruzi. Camundongos A/J foram capazes de mediar apresentação cruzada. Mapeamos um peptídeo que é reconhecido por camundongos BALB/c. Camundongos imunizados com Poly (I:C) como estímulo de maturação mostrou-se superior ao CpG.

Abstract in English
As part of the innate immune system, dendritic cells (DCs) are critical in the process of induction of immunity and peripheral tolerance. These cells offer many receptors on their surface and can be classified in different subsets according to the expression there of. Monoclonal antibodies directed against different cellular receptors have been used successfully to treat diseases such as cancer. In the last ten years has been demonstrated that antigen can be sent directly to the receiver DEC205 present on the surface of DCs in vivo. When this happens in the absence of concomitant inflammatory stimulus, the result is the induction of immunological tolerance. Moreover, when the antigen is sent to the same cells in the presence of an inflammatory stimulus, the result is to induce a strong immune response. In this study we generated an antibody aDEC205 fusion protein with the amastigote surface protein 2 (ASP-2) from Trypanosoma cruzi and study the effect of administration of this antibody in vivo in the presence of different adjuvants in two distinct strains of mice. We observed that both strains of mice were unable to generate antibodies, but cellular immune response was sufficient to reduce the parasitemia when challenged with trypomastigotes Y strain of Trypanosoma cruzi. The mice A/J were able to mediate cross-presentation. In contrast, we mapped a peptide that is recognized by BALB/c mice. In counterpart mice immunized with Poly (I:C) as maturation stimuli was superior to CpG.
