The blueprint has been established for redeveloping all vaccines, including those for infectious diseases and cancers.
Researchers from the International Institute for Nanotechnology at Northwestern University have made a breakthrough by developing a new method to increase the potency of almost any vaccine,How did they do it? Chemistry and nanotechnology were used to change the structural location of adjuvants and antigens on and within a nanoscale vaccine, thereby highly increasing vaccine performance.like COVID-19 — and improve outcomes for seven different types of cancer.
"Where and how we position the antigens and adjuvant within a single architecture markedly changes how the immune system recognizes and processes it."Mirkan and team emphasize the vaccine structure, which they believe has the potential to improve the effectiveness of conventional cancer vaccines.
"A challenge with conventional vaccines is that out of that blended mish-mosh, an immune cell might pick up 50 antigens and one adjuvant or one antigen and 50 adjuvants," said study author and former Northwestern postdoctoral associate Michelle Teplensky, who is now an assistant professor at Boston University. "But there must be an optimum ratio of each that would maximize the vaccine’s effectiveness.
