-What is an adjuvant?
A substance that we add to a vaccine to increase its immunogenicity
WHY DO WE NEED ADJUVANTS?
-Not needed in live attenuated vaccines, as their replicative capacityalready provides a delivery method to the antigen presenting cells.Components of the pathogen act as immunostimulants.
-Especially needed when we use subunit vaccines or when we want toimmunize through mucosal routes
TYPES OF ADJUVANTS
Signal 1 facilitators Signal 2 facilitators
- They include all variants of delivery systems,including depot adjuvants
- They affect antigen residence time, the spatio–temporal behavior of the antigen (antigengeography) and the amount of the antigen thateventually reaches the adaptive immune cellreceptors
- Examples: oil emulsions
- Do not directly affect theconcentration and distribution ofantigen between injection site anddraining lymph nodes over time
- They provide co-stimulatory signalsduring the antigen recognition phase,thus increasing the immune responseor skewing it to provide the mostsuitable immune environment for theestablishment of protection
- Examples: ligands of innatereceptors, cytokines
OIL-BASED EMULSIONS
generate long-term immune responses
Low HLB value High HLB value Intermediate HLB value
well tolerated but induce ashorter term immune response
W/O O/W W/O/W
Emulsion= dispered phase + continuos phase + surfactantHLB= hydrophilic: lipohilic balance
long-term immune responses, but strong side effect
SIGNAL 1 FACILITATORS
Freund´s complete adjuvant-W/O. Heat-killed Mycobacteria and a mineral oil with surfactant-Strong side effects-Not always worked in fish
Freund´s incomplete adjuvant-Lacks the mycobacterial components of the emulsion, being therefore just a W/Oemulsion-Less side effects, but still some like peritonitis-Evidences of good effects in fish
Montanide-Based on either mineral oil, non-mineral oil or a mixture of both-May be used to manufacture different type of emulsions, W/O, O/W or W/O/W, for use inboth mammals and fish-Less side effects-Evidences of good effects in fish
Other mineral oils-AJ-oil (Alphaject 5200) used in some vaccines commercialised by Pharmaq
MONTANIDE™ in the fieldStreptococcusAeronomasVibriosisYersiniaPasteurellosisFuronculosis
SIGNAL 1 FACILITATORS
- Work resonably well for antibacterial vaccines delivered intraperitoneally
- Not effective for viral or parasitic diseases
- Strong side effects
Noia et al. FSI 2014; 38: 244-254.
C. Secombes
SIGNAL 2 FACILITATORS
- provide co-stimulatory signals during the antigen recognition phase
- Skewing the immune response to provide the most suitable immune environment forthe establishment of protection
SIGNAL 2 FACILITATORS
-Aluminium salts
Some of the few adjuvants that have been allowed and considered safe to use in human vaccines
Induce Th2 responses
Activates NLRP3 inflammasome and DCs
Only a few studies have used aluminium adjuvants in the optimization of fish vaccines
-TLR ligands
-Cytokines
Chemokines, pro-inflammatory cytokines, IFN-related cytokines
SIGNAL 2 FACILITATORS
Poly I:C
Lipopeptides
Flagellin
CpGs
LPS
b-glucans
Saponins
ISCOMs (cholesterol,phospholipid andsaponin)

CONCLUSIONS
- In fish, signal 1 adjuvants work efficiently for intraperitoneally deliveredantibacterial vaccines although strong local side effects are elicited
- New adjuvants should be developed for antiviral and antiparasiticvaccines, as well as for vaccines delivered through alternativeadministration routes
- Chemokines do not seem as adequate adjuvants for fish DNA vaccinesagainst rhabdovirus
- The introduction of instrinsic CpG motifs in DNA vaccines appears aspromising strategy to increase their immunogenicity
- Recombinant IL6 increases the immunogenicity of an inactivated virus
b-glucans and flagellin also seems as promising adjuvants for use inaquaculture.
