AN EMERGING APPROACH IN VACCINE DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM – NANOPARTICLE OR NANOSIZED VACCINE

Abstract

The present study shows new era in nanotechnology, here designed a new type of nanoparticles that could effectively and safely deliver vaccines for diseases such as HIV and malaria. They engineered nanoparticles, made of concentric fatty globules, which they claim may be effective carriers of artificial viral proteins. These synthetic particles elicit a strong immune response comparable to that produced by live virus vaccines, but should be much safer.
