Abstract
Preventive vaccination has played a crucial role in protecting the host from infectious diseases. However, the antigens currently developed as vaccines require a delivery vehicle in order to evoke the desired immune activation. Bioinspired materials (both natural or synthetic) are the materials whose structure or functionality is designed to mimic biological systems. They have currently gained significance in order to improve the antigen stability and immunogenicity of the vaccines. With their ability to load both hydrophilic and hydrophobic payload and the propensity to induce significant immune response with minimized systemic toxicity, bioinspired materials can substitute the conventional viral vector- based vaccine technology in the future. This chapter details the recent advancements in the applications of different bioinspired materials as efficient carriers for the delivery of vaccines.
