A New Type of Vaccine Adjuvant Which Utilizes Nano-Particle of Pullulan Derivative and Cytokine - A Protective Effects against Influenza Virus Infection have been Confirmed in Animal Experiments -
Hayashibara Co., Ltd. announced that a new effective and stable vaccine adjuvant formulation containing of TNF, a kind of cytokine, pre-encapsulated into nano-particles of pullulan derivatives, has been developed. Intranasal administration of the formulation significantly augmented antibody production of conventional influenza virus and protected mice against lethal influenza virus infection. The formulation would be very convenient because it eventually augmented vaccine effectiveness by nasal administration which has not been applied to the conventional vaccine. Hence, the nano-particle is expected to be a useful tool in the development of an advanced vaccine therapy against various pathogens as well as influenza virus.
Hayashibara will present the results of this research at the 133rd Annual Meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan (March 27 - 30, at Pacifico Yokohama, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture). -
