Injectable silicone implants as vaccine delivery vehicles

Vaccine
S LofthouseA Sano

Abstract

Injectable silicone implants were assessed as vaccine delivery vehicles in sheep, using either the model antigen avidin or Clostridium tetani and Clostridium novyi toxoids. Two types of implant were compared, the matrix type, that has been shown to deliver antigen in vitro in a first-order profile over approximately 1 month, and the covered rod type, that delivers antigen for several months in a zero-order profile. The implants were prepared using lyophilized antigen and adjuvant (in this case, recombinant ovine interleukin-1beta; rovIL-1beta) and manufactured in the absence of extremes of temperature or pH or the use of organic solvents. Use of the matrix type implant was capable of inducing antibody responses equivalent to those induced by conventional vaccination with aluminium hydroxide adjuvant ("alum"). The use of the covered rod implants, that release very low levels of antigen over a long period, induced responses that were markedly enhanced over the alum control groups. The covered rod implant also favoured production of both IgG1 and IgG2 isotypes in contrast to responses of matrix-vaccinated sheep and conventionally vaccinated control sheep in which IgG1 predominated. Prolonged duration of the antibody response was a...Continue Reading

Avian Influenza: Innate Immune Adjuvant (ASM)

Adjuvants systems that are added to vaccines against avian influenza have be explored to enhance the innate immune system response against the virus. Here is the latest research on avian influenza and the innate immune adjuvant.
