Previously other groups have used tattoo gun-based mechanisms to stimulate immune responses based on the theoretical advantage that a high number of microinjections results in a greater number of antigen presenting cells received to target immunogens.
Key Points:
- Previously other groups have used tattoo gun-based mechanisms to stimulate immune responses based on the theoretical advantage that a high number of microinjections results in a greater number of antigen presenting cells received to target immunogens.
- “Utilizing a “tattoo gun” approach evokes a substantial degree of inflammation, which is classically believed to stimulate immunity.
- “It would be extremely ironic if something as simple as a tattoo gun was the answer.”
The concept of modulating antigen presentation to inhibit pathological immunity has previously been described. - However, the unexpected potency of the large surface area of injection only achievable by a tattoo gun was completely unexpected.
