The article focuses on the study conducted by Doctor Amanda M. Macejko and colleagues concerning antigen trafficking from the bladder. Results show that these bladder antigens travel to local and distant lymphoid tissues and the spleen. Such adaptive immune response to bladder antigens can benefit researchers in understanding bladder cancer immunotherapies and in developing effective vaccines for urinary tract infections.
