Antigen accumulation in lymph nodes (LNs) is critical for vaccine efficacy, but understanding of vaccine biodistributionin humans or large animals remains limited.

Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRMs) can profoundly enhance mucosal immunity, but parameters governing TRM induction by vaccination remain poorly understood.

Science Advances Martin P. Steinbuck, Lochana M. Seenappa, Aniela Jakubowski, Lisa K. McNeil, Christopher M. Haqq*, Peter C. DeMuth The profound consequences of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) mandate urgent development of effective vaccines. Here, we evaluated an Amphiphile (AMP) vaccine adjuvant, AMP-CpG, composed of diacyl lipid–modified CpG, admixed with the SARS-CoV-2 Spike-2 receptor […]

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic’s public health, economic, and social impacts mandate urgent development of effective vaccines to contain or eradicate infection. To that end, we evaluated a novel amphiphile (AMP) vaccine adjuvant, AMP-CpG, composed of diacyl lipid-modified CpG, admixed with the SARS-CoV-2 Spike-2 receptor binding domain (Spike RBD) protein for immunization (ELI 005).

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has led to public health, economic, and social consequences that mandate urgent development of effective vaccines to contain or eradicate infection. To that end, we evaluated a novel amphiphile (AMP) vaccine adjuvant, AMP-CpG, composed of diacyl lipid-modified CpG, admixed with the SARS-CoV-2 Spike-2 receptor binding domain protein as a candidate vaccine (ELI-005) […]

Immune cells are naturally gifted in recognizing antigens and fighting off infection and disease. But, just like talented people, they need nurturing and the right training to fulfil their true potential. For immune cells this means a spell in lymph nodes— the training camps of the immune system—where they receive specialized instruction in the art of immune surveillance and attack.
