A transcutaneous immunization system delivers antigen to immune cells without perforation of the skin, and induces an immune response in an animal or human. The system uses an adjuvant, preferably an ADP-ribosylating exotoxin, to induce an antigen-specific immune response (e.g., humoral and/or cellular effectors) after transcutaneous application of a formulation containing antigen and adjuvant to intact skin of the animal or human. The efficiency of immunization may be enhanced by adding hydrating agents (e.g., liposomes), penetration enhancers, or occlusive dressings to the transcutaneous delivery system. This system may allow activation of Langerhans cells in the skin, migration of the Langerhans cells to lymph nodes, and antigen presentation.

Un système d'immunisation transcutanée délivre un antigène aux cellules immunitaires sans perforation de la peau et induit une réponse immunitaire chez un animal ou un homme. Le système utilise un adjuvant, de préférence une exotoxine ribosylant l'ADP, pour induire une réponse immunitaire spécifique de l'antigène (effecteurs humoraux et/ou cellulaires par exemple) après application transcutanée, sur la peau intacte de l'animal ou de l'homme, d'une formulation contenant un antigène et un adjuvant. On peut accroître l'efficacité de l'immunisation en ajoutant au système de délivrance transcutanée des agents hydratants (liposomes par exemple), des activateurs de pénétration cellulaire ou des pansements occlusifs. Le système peut permettre l'activation des cellules de Langerhans dans la peau, la migration desdites cellules vers les ganglions lymphatiques et la présentation d'antigène.
