Micro- and Nanotechnology in Vaccine Development
Micro- and Nanotechnology in Vaccine Development by Mariusz Skwarczynski, published by Elsevier Science on September 29, 2016, is a detailed exploration of the advancements in vaccine research facilitated by micro- and nanotechnology (MNT). This 460-page book offers insights into the challenges faced by immunologists in their pursuit of further progress in vaccine development, highlighting the innovative use of MNT to create particles that enhance the immune response.
Readers will find a thorough examination of how MNT enables the design of immunogenic particles that effectively stimulate responses against targeted pathogens. The book discusses the inherent ability of the human immune system to recognize small particles, such as viruses and toxins, and how this understanding informs the development of vaccine delivery systems and adjuvants based on nanoparticles. With a focus on the intersection of technology, immunology, and public health, this edition serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the future of vaccine development.
Official synopsis Publisher
This book provides a comprehensive overview of how use of micro- and nanotechnology (MNT) has allowed major new advance in vaccine development research, and the challenges that immunologists face in making further progress.
MNT allows the creation of particles that exploit the inherent ability of the human immune system to recognize small particles such as viruses and toxins. In combination with minimal protective epitope design, this permits the creation of immunogenic particles that stimulate a response against the targeted pathogen. The finely tuned response of the human immune system to small particles makes it unsurprising that many of the lead adjuvants and vaccine delivery systems currently under investigation are based on nanoparticles.
