Background of Liposome-Based Adjuvant

Liposomes have long been studied as highly effective drug delivery systems due to their ability to encapsulate and protect therapeutic molecules. Their role as adjuvants in vaccines stems from their capability to enhance antigen presentation, trigger immune cell activation, and modulate immune responses. Depending on their composition, liposome-based adjuvants can stimulate specific immune pathways such as Th1 or Th2, which makes them highly versatile for use in vaccines targeting a wide variety of pathogens.

Liposomes can also incorporate additional immune-activating components, such as toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists, MPLA, and QS-21, which further boost their adjuvant properties. This combination of antigen protection, delivery, and immune stimulation makes liposome-based adjuvants indispensable in the development of modern vaccines.

Applications of Liposome Adjuvants

Liposome-based adjuvants have been widely used in vaccines targeting a range of diseases. Below are some of the key applications.

Indication Antigen Immunostimulatory Molecule Liposome Composition
Hepatitis A Inactivated virus HA + NA of influenza virus Lecithines/Cephalins
Influenza HA (H1N1, H3N2) + NA MPLA DSPC, Cholesterol
Malaria HBsAg + protein CS (RTS.S) MPLA DOPC, Cholesterol
Herpes Virus gE MPLA/QS-21 DOPC, Cholesterol
COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 S protein mRNA SM-102/ALC-0159 DSPC, Cholesterol
Cancer Vaccines Multiple tumor-associated antigens MPLA, QS-21 DOPC, Cholesterol

This table illustrates the versatility of liposome-based adjuvants in promoting strong immune responses across a variety of diseases. Liposomes are particularly effective in inducing both innate and adaptive immunity, providing researchers with a powerful tool for vaccine development.
