Description |
A combination adjuvant pairing aluminum hydroxide (AH) with CpG (TLR9 agonist) to enhance Th1-polarized immunity and antibody production against SARS-CoV-2 |
|

Clinical Trial |
|
Host Species for Testing |
2 |
|
Second Host Species for Testing |

|
Components |
Alum and CpG enhance SARS-CoV-2 RBD protective immunity |
|
Structure |
A physical mixture of aluminum hydroxide gel (Alhydrogel) and synthetic CpG-ODNs (e.g., CpG-1018, CpG-2395) |
|
Appearance |
Formulated by mixing recombinant SARS-CoV-2 RBD protein with AH and CpG prior to injection |
|
Storage |
Suitable for ambient storage and lyophilization |
|
Dosage |
In mice: CpG: 50 µg (CpG-1018 or CpG-2395) AH: 100 µg RBD antigen: 10 µg per dose (i.m. injection) |
|
Function |
Alum and CpG enhance SARS-CoV-2 RBD protective immunity, variant neutralization in aged mice and Th1-polarizing cytokine production by human elder leukocytes. |
|
Safety |
Demonstrated good safety in preclinical models and human PBMCs; no significant adverse effects observed |
