Increasing emergence of infectious diseases is driving demand for new vaccine technologies capable of improving antigen delivery and protective efficacy. Nanoparticle technology is a modern approach to antigen delivery, capable of stabilizing and increasing the amount of antigen delivered to immune cells. Protein-based nanoparticles are a biodegradable alternative to existing nanomaterials, offering a versatile and biocompatible approach to nanoparticle vaccine delivery. In this chapter, the methods for the synthesis and characterization of protein-based nanocapsule vaccines are discussed. Initially, the requirements for a suitable nanoparticle vaccine are outlined, and finally, methods for the design and synthesis of protein-based nanocapsule vaccines are explained. |
