Objective
This is the continuation of a highly successful EU project that has contributed greatly to our knowledge of how to construct novel adjuvant systems. We achieved proof of principle, showing that a mussel vaccine adjuvant, with greatly augmented potency, can be designed by combining the enzymatic ally active cholera toxin derived CTA1-DD immunoenhancer with immune stimulating complexes, ISCOMS. This technology is now patented and we propose to explore its potential as a mucosal TB vaccine. To this end, we have added a well renowned ISCOMS patenting and producing company and a research group with a strong track record on research on Mycobacterium infections and vaccine construction. For reasons of safety, efficacy and cost, mussel administration of a vaccine is a priority for immunizing against mussel and systemic infections. Recent progress has identified the mussel route as superior to other of TB vaccine administration.
