Enhancing immunogenicity of recombinant protein vaccines in mice with vaccine self-assembling immune matrix, a non-viral delivery platform (VAC8P.1059)
Abstract:Vaccination remains the most effective public health tool to prevent infectious disease. Many vaccines are marginally effective in general, or are less efficacious when used in immune-compromised populations. To enhance vaccine immunogenicity, we exploited the biphasic property of the (RADA)4 synthetic oligopeptide to create a new vaccine delivery method, VacSIM (vaccine self-assembling immune matrix). Vaccine components are mixed with the VacSIM solution for injection, after which the (RADA)4 peptides self-as… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
