Cytoplasmic delivery of proteins or CTL epitopes is crucial for the presentation of antigen for the generation of CTL. We previously described the use of the 16-amino acid peptide penetratin from the Drosophila Antennapedia domain (Int) to transport CTL epitopes into cells. Here we show that, Int, incorporating MUC1 CTL epitopes in tandem is able to facilitate their rapid uptake by macrophages and dendritic cells (DC) in an energy-dependent endocytic pathway.
