Nanostructured Lipid Carrier (NLC)

Vaxjo ID 180
Vaccine Adjuvant Name Nanostructured Lipid Carrier (NLC)
Adjuvant VO ID VO_0005476
Description a small molecule adjuvant that induces Th1-based immune response and is designed for use with self-amplifying RNA antigens
Stage of Development Clinical Trial
Location Licensed US (AAHI)
Host Species for Testing 2
Second Host Species for Testing 3
Components oil core composed of solid (trimyristin) and liquid (squalene) lipids surrounded by surfactants (sorbitan monostearate and polysorbate 80) and a cationic lipid (DOTAP)
Storage stable at 4C for at least 2 years in a liquid state
Preparation mixing the lipids in an oil phase, dissolving the Tween 80 in citrate buffer aqueous phase, and homogenizing the two phases by micro-fluidization. The resulting emulsion is sterile-filtered and vialed until dilution in a sucrose-citrate solution and complexing with vaccine saRNA
Function innate immune activation
