1. Liposome mediated:
Liposomes are formed when certain amphiphilic lipids self assemble in aqueous
buffer.
Liposome-based adjuvants may act as both delivery systems for subunit antigens
and as immunopotentiators.
They can be modified via: (i) the choice of lipid composition, (ii) the inclusion of
immunostimulating compounds, (iii) the choice of formulation method and
(iv) the mode of antigen and immunostimulator association

• Liposomes can be surface modified- add antibody , PEG
• Liposomes can contain drug/mRNA/DNA inside
• Liposomes can contain nucleic acid attached outside, in between lipids

3. Micro and Nanoparticles
Aimed at replacing a protein carrier in a peptide based vaccine, with a small structural unit
that can amplify peptide antigens without the disadvantages associated with protein carriers.

Why dendrimers?
• Good for Encapsulation of hydrophobic compounds
Group of cationic peptides that have the ability to enter into the cytoplasm of cells. CPP
are able to deliver a number of antigens, including RNA, DNA, peptides, proteins, drugs
and virus particles into cells.
