Kathuria et al. [103]HIV gag and also influenza HADNA vaccineCCL25CTLs and CD4+ T cellsIncreased IFNγ+ T cells in the spleen and MLN. Increased IgA+ ASCs in PPs and increased HIV-specific IgA in serum.

Hu et al. [105]HIV gp140 (env)DNA vaccineCCL19, CCL28, and also APRILEnhanced HIV-specific serum and vaginal IgA. Neutralizing IgA in vaginal wash and increased CCR10+ B cells in MLNs.

Tregoning et al. [106]HIV gp140 (env and trimeric)ProteinCCL28 and also TLR4LNo increase in HIV-specific IgA in vaginal wash.

Kutzler et al. [107]SIV gag, pol, env, and nef-revDNA vaccineCCL25, CCL27, and CCL28Increased HIV-specific IgG and IgA in serum and vaginal wash. Highest protection from SIV challenge (CCR10L group).
