Overview

Antigen Delivery Systems: Immunological and Technological Issues presents an up-to-date overview of recent developments in this field. Reviewing new trends in vaccine development programs from the standpoints of the World Health Organization (WHO) and industry, this text also emphasizes the requirements of varied vaccine delivery systems. Moreover, essential aspects of antigen presentation and adjuvant effect are covered, with examples of frequently studied antigen delivery systems such as liposomes and nano/microparticles. The importance of delivery systems to the immunogenicity of various antigens in terms of intensity and duration of antibody and T cell responses and the aspects of preparation technology are also discussed. Traditional, recombinant and synthetic antigens, including the two main routes of administration, i.e., parenteral and peroral, are considered.
