Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed a dissolving microneedle array for use as a transcutaneous vaccination (TCV) device, and reported that TCV with the dissolving microneedle array induced an immune response against antigens as well as systemic injection. In this study, I searched for the adjuvant which aimed at optimization of TCV. As a result, Monophosphoryl Lipid A (MPLA) and ODN1826 enhanced antibody production against ovalbumin as a model antigen on TCV used dissolving microneedle. ODN1826 and MPLA will be useful as TCV adjuvant.
