Abstrakt: Subunit vaccines, significant in next-generation vaccine development, offer precise targeting of immune responses by focusing on specific antigens. However, this precision often comes at the cost of eliciting strong and durable immunity, posing a great challenge to vaccine design. To address this limitation, recent advancements in nanoparticles (NPs) are utilized to enhance antigen delivery efficiency and boost vaccine efficacy. This review examines how the physicochemical properties of NPs influence various stages of the immune response during vaccine delivery and analyzes how different NP types contribute to immune activation and enhance vaccine performance. It then explores the unique characteristics and immune activation mechanisms of these NPs, along with their recent advancements, and highlights their application in subunit vaccines targeting infectious diseases and cancer. Finally, it discusses the challenges in NP-based vaccine development and proposes future directions for innovation in this promising field.
