AddaS03™ Adjuvant

Oil-in-water nano-emulsion adjuvant

ABOUT

Vaccine Adjuvant: Squalene emulsion

AddaS03™ is an oil-in-water nano-emulsion adjuvant, with a formulation similar to that of the adjuvant system AS03®, a fundamental component of pandemic influenza and protein-based covid vaccines [approved by relevant regulatory authorities] [1]. It is composed of the same percentage of two biodegradable oils, squalene and DL-α-tocopherol, and the surfactant, polysorbate 80 (Tween® 80), for increased stability. Squalene oil-in-water emulsions, such as MF59® or AS03®, allow for antigen dose sparing and result in mixed cell-mediated and humoral immune responses (Th1/Th2) [2-5]. A consistent signature pattern of early post-vaccine activation of myeloid and lymphoid cells following the administration of these adjuvants has emerged across multiple studies in humans [1].

 

AddaS03™ is VacciGrade™, a high-quality pre-clinical grade.

VacciGrade™

VacciGrade™ is a high-quality pre-clinical grade. VacciGrade™ products are filter-sterilized (0.2 µm) and filled under strict aseptic conditions in a clean room*. The absence of bacterial contamination is assessed by a sterility test using a pharmacopeia-derived assay. The level of bacterial contaminants (endotoxins and lipoproteins) in each lot is verified using a LAL assay and/or a TLR2 and TLR4 reporter assay. *Except for LPS VacciGrade™, which is prepared in a laminar flow hood dedicated to LPS.
