      | 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] |
