Sustained delivery of CpG oligodeoxynucleotide by acetalated dextran microparticles augments effector response to Computationally Optimized Broadly Reactive Antigen (COBRA) influenza hemagglutinin

Cole J. Batty et al.

Summary: A subunit or protein-based influenza vaccine can be a safer alternative to live attenuated or inactivated vaccines. In this study, a method for encapsulating the adjuvant CpG in hydrophobic microparticles was developed. The slow-degrading particles showed the highest level of innate immune stimulation and sustained release particles elicited the highest levels of antibody effector functions. These findings suggest that sustained release of CpG from microparticles could potentially enhance the efficacy of subunit vaccines.
