Adjuvants• Chemical substance that can be added to a vaccine in order to
enhance the immune response to the vaccine.

Licensed Types of Adjuvants
1. Aluminum Hydroxide2. Aluminum Phosphate (Alum)3.MF59 – oil/water emulsion, biodegradable squalene oil (4.3%) stabilized by two non-ionic surfactants (Tween 80 and Span 85), and a low ionic strength citrate buffer4.AS04, 3-0-desacyl- 4'-monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) detoxified by mild hydrolytic treatment, alum absorbed
Aluminum Salts

Boosters• Periodic “booster”
administration strengthens and lengthens duration of immunity

Routes of Administration
• Intravenous • Intramuscular• Subcutaneous• Oral – liquids, foods• Intranasal

A comparisonConventional methods
o grow microbes in vitroo harvest microbial proteins that may
have the potential to produce a vaccine
o problem… many microbes are hard to cultivate in vitro
Reverse vaccinology methodso computer analyzes specific microbe genome
sequence to predict genes that code for surface proteins (possible vaccine)
o computers can examine multiple microbial genomes to look for homologous proteins to create more accurate predictions
o predicted genes are cloned into E. coli cultures for manufacturing of recombinant proteins – these are the potential vaccines
o proteins are extracted from the E. coli cultures and tested in mice for the immune response of interest
