title: Taking a toll road to better vaccines.
abstract: Effective subunit vaccines must elicit strong CD4(+) T cell responses. In this issue of Immunity, Malherbe et al. (2008) find that the ability of adjuvants to stimulate high-avidity T cell responses correlates with Toll-like-receptor engagement.
