Abstract:

M ost next generation vaccines comprised of highly purified recombinant antigens will require the inclusion of a potent adjuvant. Recent discovery of small molecule immune potentiators (SMIPs) adjuvants has generated a lot of excitement about the potential of these molecules for prophylactic vaccines. But optimizing the delivery of these molecules with vaccine antigens is a very complex undertaking, primarily to avoid systemic exposure of these molecules and enhance their safety profile. This presentation will cover one such novel immune potentiator and its delivery strategy
