Description

Vaccine and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of medicines, in particular to a vaccine and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Vaccines are immunogenic substances that elicit body-specific immune responses, are the most cost-effective treatment for the prevention and treatment of human diseases, and by administering vaccines, antigens can be recognized by their own antigen-presenting cells (e.g., dendritic cells), and specific immune responses can be rapidly activated, initiating defense mechanisms against foreign bodies carrying antigenic determinants. Conventional inactivated pathogen vaccines and attenuated live vaccines use the pathogen as a carrier, which is prone to cause safety problems. The vaccine medicine prepared by directly using the pathogen protein antigen can avoid using virus as a carrier, and has better safety. Because the vaccine preparation contains various components and has a complex action mechanism, the inactivated or attenuated pathogen vaccine has the risk of generating virulence recovery, causes serious adverse reaction and has higher requirement on the safety of the production environment. Just because of concerns about safety issues that may be caused by pathogens, conventional vaccines are not suitable for virulent pathogens with high pathogenicity. The pathogen protein antigen is directly used for subunit vaccine drug development, and the composition of the vaccine preparation can be well controlled. The definite composition of the components of the subunit vaccine ensures the safety of the subunit vaccine in the using and preparing processes. However, because of its low immunogenicity, the immune response triggered by it is weak, so it needs to be supplemented with immune adjuvant (such as aluminum adjuvant or CpG oligonucleotide, etc.) to play a better role.
Aluminum hydroxide adjuvant is used as the most widely used immunoadjuvant, and is used for the treatment of various diseases including rabies, avian influenza, and pediatric diphtheria because of its excellent safety. Currently, the aluminum hydroxide adjuvants in clinical use are often in the form of gels containing aluminum hydroxide clusters of 1-10 μm in size. It adsorbs antigen with anion in the form of electrostatic adsorption, and activates antigen presenting cells by intramuscular injection or subcutaneous injection to trigger immune response of the body. The currently commonly used aluminum hydroxide adjuvant has weak in-vivo binding capacity with antigen and is difficult to deliver to lymph node antigen presenting cells, so that the problems of poor immune activation efficiency, incapability of effectively activating cellular immunity of organisms and the like exist. First, traditional aluminum hydroxide adjuvants are difficult to maintain in an in vivo environment andbinding between adsorbed antigens. Journal (Nature Medicine,2020,26 (3), 430-440) reports that in vivo environment, aluminum hydroxide adjuvant can be rapidly dissociated from its adsorbed antigen, and only three days after subcutaneous inoculation, the inoculated vaccine can be basically eliminated by the body, and the function of effectively activating immune response can not be achieved. Second, traditional aluminum hydroxide gels are large in size (1-10 μm) and difficult to access to lymph nodes, and release antigen at the site of inoculation in the form of a "sponge", resulting in inefficient access of antigen to lymph nodes for contacting antigen presenting cells. Furthermore, conventional aluminum hydroxide adjuvants are not believed to have the ability to activate cellular immunity. Previous studies on aluminum adjuvants found that although aluminum adjuvants have some activating effect on Th 2-type humoral immunity, it is difficult to control CD8 + T cell-mediated cellular immunity produces effects. In conclusion, various drawbacks of conventional aluminum hydroxide adjuvants in antigen delivery limit their further application in immunotherapy. Therefore, it is of great interest to explore ways of delivering aluminum adjuvants and protein antigens that are not easily dissociated in vivo and that can effectively activate immune responses (especially cellular immune responses).
