Down selecting adjuvanted vaccine formulations: a comparative method for harmonized evaluation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Allergic skin inflammation such as atopic dermatitis (AD), which is characterized by pruritus and inflammation, is regulated partly through the activity of regulatory T cells (Tregs). Tregs play key roles in the immune response by preventing or suppressing the differentiation, proliferation and function of v...
