Abstract
Adjuvants are crucial components of many vaccines. They are used to improve the immunogenicity of vaccines with the aim of conferring long-term protection, to enhance the efficacy of vaccines in newborns, elderly or immunocompromised persons, and to reduce the amount of antigen or the number of doses required to elicit effective immunity. Novel combination adjuvants have been tested in both candidate animals and humans vaccines and have generated encouraging results. Recently, we developed a combination adjuvant platform (TriAdj) comprising of three components, namely a TLR agonist, either polyI:C or CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN), host defense peptide and polyphosphazene. This adjuvant platform is stable and highly effective in a wide range of animal and human vaccines tested in mice, cotton rats, pigs, sheep, and koalas. TriAdj with various vaccines antigens induced effective long-term humoral and cellular immunity. Moreover, the adjuvant platform is suitable for maternal immunization and highly effective in neonates even in the presence of maternal antibodies. This novel vaccine platform, offers excellent opportunity for use in present and future generations of vaccines against multiple infectious agents and targets challenging populations.
