Popis: Background: Exploration of the efficiency of metal nanoparticles as adjuvants have reported varying results. Objective: The efficacy of metal nanoparticles as adjuvants was investigated Data sources: Database were searched using the terms ‘metal nanoparticles’ and ‘vaccines’. Study eligibility criteria: Studies in animal models utilizing any metal-based vaccines, where the survival rate was described. Study appraisal: The quality of the studies was examined using aspects of the ARRIVE guidelines and assessment of the risk of bias of included studies. Results: Metal nanoparticle-based adjuvants were more effective compared with control (unvaccinated groups) but have not been more successful in competing with common adjuvants or even antigens alone. Limitation: More than 75% of articles have used only gold nanoparticles. Conclusion: Nano-adjuvants do not have a significant effect on reducing mortality.
