Vaccine Adjuvant: Squalene-Oil-in-water

AddaVax™ is a squalene-based oil-in-water nano-emulsion with a formulation similar to that of MF59® that has been licensed in Europe for adjuvanted flu vaccines [1]. Squalene is an oil more readily metabolized than the paraffin oil used in Freund’s adjuvants [1]. Squalene oil-in-water emulsions, such as MF59®, elicit both cellular (Th1) and humoral (Th2) immune responses [2, 3].

This class of adjuvants is believed to act through recruitment and activation of APC and stimulation of cytokines and chemokines production by macrophages and granulocytes [1].
 

AddaVax™ is VacciGrade™ (preclinical grade) for research use only, not for use in humans.
