Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/08/2013 -- PharmaFocus: Vaccine Adjuvants in Infectious Disease

Summary

Originally discovered by Glenny in the 1920s, vaccine adjuvants have remained the pharmaceutical industry's "dirty little secret". Today, vaccine adjuvants are credited with helping to bolster the immune response in the host post-vaccination. Recently, second-generation adjuvants have come under scrutiny after reports that the adjuvant used in certain pandemic influenza vaccines was linked to causing narcolepsy in Swedish and British adults. Such reports, compounded by the general mistrust of adjuvants, have resulted in these vital vaccine components becoming the scapegoat of the vaccine industry. However, immunologists and infectious disease specialists are in agreement over the beneficial uses of adjuvants in vaccines today, especially as a means to reduce the number of doses, increase the likelihood of a sustained immunological response and decrease the overall incidence of disease.
