Abstract

Orally administering vaccines can offer significant advantages in terms of immune responses and ease of administration in comparison to injectable vaccines. However there are a series of barriers in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that must be overcome for effective oral vaccination including the highly acidic conditions, digestive enzymes and effective vaccine uptake. Although there are a few licensed oral vaccines, such as the oral polio vaccine (OPV) available for human use, it is essential to develop a broader range of mucosal vaccines. Particulate delivery systems, which protect the antigens and can deliver them to the site of action where an immune response can be initiated, offer a viable option. We have investigated the use of non-ionic-based vesicles (niosomes and bilosomes), and using various characterisation and analytical techniques we have developed vesicles that are stable and able to retain antigen in gastric conditions. Oral biodistribution studies show that using these vesicles as antigen delivery systems, we can increase the delivery of oral vaccines through the GI tract. In addition, vaccination with influenza antigen incorporated into bilosomes can effectively reduce fever and suppress lung inflammation in a challenge model. This chapter outlines the development of these bilosome systems and their critical formulation attributes.
