摘要:
The invention relates to a method for obtaining aggregated antigenic structures that are capable of enhancing an immune response to aggregate antigens administered systemically and/or mucosally generating powerful immune response and to the chemical structures resulting from the application of said method, to the formulations obtained from such structures and their use. The method describes the obtention of novel aggregate antigenic structures by using aggregating, delipidating or oxidating agents or compounds enabling the release of lipids from the particles and their heterogeneous aggregation, wherein aggregates with particle sizes of between 30 and 500 nm are subsequently selected by means of a molecular exclusion process. The aggregation state can also be provoket inside the yeast by changing incubation conditions. The resulting structures can be used conveniently adjuvated or in a formulation in which several antigens can be introduced, wherein synergism between said components is found with respect to the immunogenicity of the response obtained. The preparation may also contain stabilizers and preservatives. The resulting antigenic structures can be used in the pharmaceutical industry as preventive or therapeutic vaccine formulation both for human and veterinary use and as part of diagnostic system.
