SKIN TARGETING OF APC DICTATES IMMUNOLOGICAL OUTCOMES Lymph nodes HAIR FOLLICLE Stratum corneum Langerhans cells Lymph node Micro- environments Epidermis Lymphatic vessels Dermal- epidermal junction Dermal DC Dermis Differential targeting of antigen-presenting cells dictates the immunological outcomes (intensity, quality, localization) Lymphatic and blood capillary vessels Hypodermis Leukocytes recruitment(neutrophils, monocytes, pDC) CD4 T cells Dendritic cells B cells CD8 T cells Blood vessels

Stratum corneum Follicular cast Hair fibre + cyanoacrylate glue + follicular casts+ ca. 30% of stratum corneum HAIR FOLLICLE TARGETING OF COMPOUNDS TO LANGERHANS CELLS Stratum corneum Epidermis Dermis Lymphatic and blood capillary vessels Hypodermis Vogt et al.

FROM HUMANIZED MICE TO CLINICAL TRIALS “tailor-cut” immunization strategies could be proposed for infectious diseases: HIV, Malaria, Tuberculosis, emerging diseases and cancer EU-FP7 large-scale coordination : CUT’HIVAC project 2010-2014 Pre-clinical models Humanized mice CLINICAL TRIALS Human skin Explants Human immune cells Immunodeficient mice
