As the world seeks safer, more effective vaccines, plant-derived adjuvants are emerging as a promising solution.
These natural compounds—extracted from sources like saponins, polysaccharides, and lectins—are gaining attention in research for their ability to boost immune responses while minimizing unwanted side effects.
Why Plant-Based? 💚 🌿
➡️ Enhanced Safety Profile: Many plant-derived adjuvants have demonstrated low toxicity and minimal side effects compared to traditional adjuvants, such as aluminum salts (alum) or synthetic compounds. This is especially important as some established adjuvants have been linked to local inflammation, rare systemic reactions, and, in susceptible individuals, autoimmune/inflammatory syndromes.
➡️ Balanced Immune Response: Unlike some older adjuvants that mainly stimulate antibody (Th2) responses, plant-based options like saponins and polysaccharides can promote both antibody and cellular (Th1) immunity, leading to more robust and long-lasting protection
➡️ Innovative Mechanisms: Certain plant adjuvants can be administered orally, paving the way for mucosal vaccines and needle-free immunization strategies.
