Evolution of vaccines

• Traditional vaccines (whole virus/bacteria, live or attenuated)

• Split vaccines• Subunit vaccines• Vaccines based on recombinant

products (recombinant viruses, DNA vaccines, recombinant antigens)

Effective vaccine and vaccination:

traditional vaccines• side effects • the cases we cannot use attenuated or

killed virus due to safety reasons (HIV); • we cannot cultivate virus or the titers

are too low; • the production (manufacturing)

requires high safety standards.

Evolution of vaccines

Split vaccines: parts of destroyed virus/bacteria

Subunit vaccines:purified antigens

Effective vaccine and vaccination:

new approach

Effective vaccine and vaccination:

new approach• Novel antigens: (recombinant viruses, DNA vaccines, recombinant antigens) Novel antigens: (recombinant viruses, DNA vaccines, recombinant antigens) • New adjuvantsNew adjuvants• New design to achieve improved efficiency and safety New design to achieve improved efficiency and safety

Ideal vaccine: safety, efficiency, specificity

• Low dose, standard antigen• Imrovement of immune memory – less

or no revaccination• Phenotypic correction of the immune

response• Effective vaccination of persons with

immunodeficiency

Ideal vaccine: safety, efficiency, specificity

(cont-d)• Management of the immune response• Therapeutic vaccination• Overcoming of the biological barriers• Antigen address delivery

New antigens (subunit, recombinant):

advantages and challengesAdvantages

• Production of sufficient amounts of highly purified standard antigens

• Safety

Challenges

• The level of the immune response

• Immunogenecity

Phenotypic correction of genetic controlof immune response

The use of Polyoxidonium® improves vaccine safety and

efficiency• PO interacts with HA subunits y multipoint

binding, thus producing the stable 117-220 nm structures

• These structures imitate 80-120 nm flu virions• The way of presentation PO-HA strustures to

immune system is similar to the way of presentation native flu virus

Result: induction of the adequate immune response
