چکیده
The use of biodegradable polymer matrices as a single-dose vaccine delivery system was investigated using tetanus toxoid (TT) and diphtheria toxoid (DT). BALB/c mice were immunized with TT or DT in different formulations including individual, in minipellet and aluminum hydroxide (alum), and the antibody responses were monitored for 48 weeks. Antigens entrapped in minipellet elicited higher antibody responses compared to those obtained with individual antigens and antigens adsorbed to alum and the antibody levels remained elevated over 48 weeks. In addition, minipellet formulations induced the same subclasses of antibodies induced by alum formulations. These results raise the possibility to obtain optimal and long-lasting immune responses by a single administration of minipellet formulations. © 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

The virulence of rubella virus for the fetus was fully defined between 1963 and 1965 when an epidemic of rubella occurred in Europe and the US, followed by a wave of damaged babies. Attenuated live virus vaccines were developed in our and other laboratories and their use has already considerably changed the epidemiology of rubella. Nevertheless, only about half of the world’s countries vaccinat...

Nasal administration is emerging as a new route of DNA vaccine delivery. We aimed to study the extent of absorption and biodistribution of intranasally administered plasmid DNA. After intranasal administration, the level of plasmid DNA in the serum peaked at 1.5 h. The ratio of the area under the concentration (AUC) after intranasal administration of DNA over the AUC after intravenous administr...
