Quillaja brasiliensis saponins are less toxic than Quil A and have similar properties when used as an adjuvant for a viral antigen preparation.
In this study, a preparation of saponins (QB-90U) extracted from leaves of Quillaja brasiliensis collected in Uruguay was evaluated as a vaccine adjuvant by comparison with alum and the well known saponin-based adjuvant, Quil A. The haemolytic activity and cellular toxicity of the saponin preparations were also evaluated. QB-90U was only slightly haemolytic and showed a low cytotoxicity when co...
متن کاملAlternative Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccines Adjuvanted with Quillaja brasiliensis or Quil-A Saponins Are Equally Effective in Inducing Specific Immune Responses
Inactivated polio vaccines (IPV) have an important role at the final stages of poliomyelitis eradication programs, reducing the risks associated with the use of attenuated polio vaccine (OPV). An affordable option to enhance vaccine immunogenicity and reduce costs of IPV may be the use of an effective and renewable adjuvant. In the present study, the adjuvant activity of aqueous extract (AE) an...
متن کاملAlginate Microsphere as a Delivery System and Adjuvant for Autoclaved Leishmania major and Quillaja Saponin: Preparation and Characterization
The goal of this study was to prepare and characterize alginate microspheres as an antigen delivery system and adjuvant for immunization against leishmaniasis. Microspheres encapsulated with autoclaved Leishmania major (ALM) and Quillaja saponin (QS) were prepared by an emulsification technique and characterized for size, encapsulation efficiency and release profile of encapsulate...
متن کاملA rabies vaccine adjuvanted with saponins from leaves of the soap tree (Quillaja brasiliensis) induces specific immune responses and protects against lethal challenge.
Quillaja brasiliensis (Quillajaceae) is a saponin producing species native from southern Brazil and Uruguay. Its saponins are remarkably similar to those of Q. saponaria, which provides most of the saponins used as immunoadjuvants in vaccines. The immunostimulating capacities of aqueous extract (AE) and purified saponin fraction (QB-90) obtained from leaves of Q. brasiliensis were favorably com...
متن کاملAdjuvant activity of Quillaja brasiliensis saponins on the immune responses to bovine herpesvirus type 1 in mice.
The chemical characterization of aqueous extracts (AE) of barks, leaves and branches and the saponin fraction denominated QB-90 obtained from Quillaja brasiliensis, a native species from Southern Brazil, show remarkable similarities to Quillaja saponaria saponins which are known as adjuvants in vaccine formulations. In vivo toxicity assays of AE and QB-90 showed not to be lethal for mice in dos...
