Also provided are methods for activating an antigen-presenting cell and eliciting an immune response by inducing CD40 activity without prostaglandin E2. Also provided are methods for activating an antigen-presenting cell and eliciting an immune response by inducing an inducible chimeric molecule comprising a region of a pattern recognition receptor or an adaptor thereof.1/38 FIGURE 1 A B a-tubulin __________________eCD4O iCD40 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
