The authoritative reference on recent developments in vaccinology
New technologies, including recombinant protein and DNA, have sparked phenomenal progress in vaccine development and delivery systems. This unique resource brings scientists up to date on recent advances and provides the information they need to select candidate adjuvants. With chapters written by leading experts in their fields, Vaccine Adjuvants and Delivery Systems:
-
Provides a comprehensive overview of the rapidly evolving field and developing formulation methods
-
Covers cutting-edge technologies and gives the current status of adjuvants in clinical trials and those still in the pre-clinical stage
-
Includes detailed information on specific vaccine adjuvants, including MF59, TLR4 agonists, new iscoms, cytokines, polyphosphazenes, and more
-
Provides a historical perspective on the development of vaccine adjuvants and discusses the mechanisms of adjuvant actions
-
Covers some novel adjuvants and delivery systems and the safety evaluation of adjuvants
A great reference for researchers, scientists, and students in vaccinology, biotechnology, immunology, and molecular biology, this resource is also valuable for researchers and scientists in veterinary medicine who work to prevent diseases in animals.

**Reviewer:**Syed Quadri, PharmD(St. Mary Medical Center)
**Description:**This book details the different current and upcoming delivery systems for vaccines. It also describes the different components of vaccines used to present the antigens to the body.
**Purpose:**The purpose is to illustrate the different technologies in the preparation of vaccines and how they are used to deliver antigens to the body. This book is certainly needed to understand the different technologies in vaccine preparation and delivery.
**Audience:**According to the author, this book should help students as well as researchers to understand vaccine delivery systems.
**Features:**It primarily covers vaccine adjuvants, discussing current trends in adjuvant usage as well as upcoming technologies and methods. The author has presents the subject well. The only thing I found lacking was the index, which covers main topics, but not the more detailed ones.
**Assessment:**This book is very useful for understanding vaccines and their delivery systems.
