Immunopotentiators in Modern Vaccines

Immunopotentiators in Modern Vaccines is an in-depth exploration of the current, most promising approaches to vaccine adjuvants. The book extends from examples of pre-clinical research all the way through to clinical evaluation, providing a thorough examination of the mechanisms which govern the activity of vaccine adjuvants and delivery systems. Wherever possible, a detailed description is provided to show how each adjuvant achieves its effects, highlighting opportunities for improving the design of adjuvants in the future. Key Features: * Immunopotentiators classified by function * Exceptional illustrations depicting immunological pathways and the impact of adjuvants on cellular and molecular interactions * US FDA perspectives highlight how future adjuvants will be approved for new generation vaccines This book is intended for professionals and academics working in vaccinology who want up-to-date information about the mechanisms of modern immunopotentiators and their potential use in future rational vaccine design. It will also be an invaluable resource for decision makers and researchers in the field of vaccinology, policy makers, registration officers, marketing managers and students in the biomedical field.
