HCV infection represents a serious worldwide public healthcare problem. Despite extensive investigations no effective vaccine does yet exist. DCs play a pivotal role in mediating immunity to pathogens and represent an exceptionally attractive target for vaccination. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to test different in vivo DC targeting strategies with respect to their applicability for inducing antiviral immunity in the liver and thus to provide the basis for the development of a DC-based HCV vaccine. In the first part of this thesis two distinct in vivo DC targeting strategies, utilizing either the endocytosis receptor DEC-205 or the TLR2/6 heterodimer, were compared using the model antigen OVA. For this, mice were immunized with aD...
