PLGA

Vaxjo ID 225       
Vaccine Adjuvant Name PLGA       
Adjuvant VO ID VO_0005270
Description Shrimp anti-lipopolysaccharide factor (SALF) is an antimicrobial peptide with reported anticancer activities, including suppression of tumor progression.       
Stage of Development Research       
Host Species for Testing Mouse       
Components biodegradable poly(DL-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs)       
Structure Antimicrobial peptide       
Preparation The paper describes the preparation of a vaccine comprising SALF in conjunction with inactivated murine bladder carcinoma cells (MBT-2) lysate, but not the preparation of SALF itself.       
Dosage The paper states that immunization of 7, 14, and 21-day-old mice was performed, but specific dosage of SALF is not provided in the abstract.       
Function The hybrid NPs induced antibody and Th1/Th17 immune responses that were similar in quality and magnitude to the response induced by DDA/TDB liposomes, showing that the adjuvant properties of DDA/TDB are maintained in the PLGA hybrid matrix. Activates NLRP3 inflammasome and forms a depot for slow antigen release. [PMC5192354]
