solid-in-oil-in-water emulsion

Vaxjo ID 269
Vaccine Adjuvant Name solid-in-oil-in-water emulsion
Adjuvant VO ID VO_0005756
Description A novel vaccine carrier where solid-state antigens are encapsulated inside the squalene oil phase of an oil-in-water emulsion, enhancing co-delivery with adjuvant and improving both humoral and cellular immunity.
Stage of Development Research
Host Species for Testing 3
Structure Oil-in-water emulsion with solid protein antigen particles in oil Oil phase: squalene, EPC, Span 85 Surfactant: Tween 80
Appearance Emulsion; white solid dispersed in liquid (based on preparation description)
Preparation OVA mixed with EPC and Span85 in cyclohexane Freeze-dried to solid Dispersed in squalene (S/O nanodispersion) Emulsified with Tween80 in PBS → S/O/W emulsion Centrifugation purification
Dosage Mice received 200 µg/g OVA, 0.5 wt% of surfactants 100 µL/site subcutaneous injection, twice (day 0 and 7)
Function In the present study, a solid-in-oil-in-water (S/O/W) emulsion encapsulating antigen in the oil phase of an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion was prepared as a novel vaccine carrier consisting of similar materials to the emulsion adjuvant of which the safety, immunogenicity and vaccination efficacy have been already confirmed in human.
Safety Good safety profile in mice
