Evolution of vaccines
• Traditional vaccines (whole virus/bacteria, live or attenuated)
• Split vaccines• Subunit vaccines• Vaccines based on recombinant
products (recombinant viruses, DNA vaccines, recombinant antigens)

Effective vaccine and vaccination:
traditional vaccines• side effects • the cases we cannot use attenuated or
killed virus due to safety reasons (HIV); • we cannot cultivate virus or the titers
are too low; • the production (manufacturing)
requires high safety standards.

Evolution of vaccines
Split vaccines: parts of destroyed virus/bacteria
Subunit vaccines:purified antigens
Effective vaccine and vaccination:
new approach
Effective vaccine and vaccination:
new approach• Novel antigens: (recombinant viruses, DNA vaccines, recombinant antigens) Novel antigens: (recombinant viruses, DNA vaccines, recombinant antigens) • New adjuvantsNew adjuvants• New design to achieve improved efficiency and safety New design to achieve improved efficiency and safety
Ideal vaccine: safety, efficiency, specificity
• Low dose, standard antigen• Imrovement of immune memory – less
or no revaccination• Phenotypic correction of the immune
response• Effective vaccination of persons with
immunodeficiency
Ideal vaccine: safety, efficiency, specificity
(cont-d)• Management of the immune response• Therapeutic vaccination• Overcoming of the biological barriers• Antigen address delivery
New antigens (subunit, recombinant):
advantages and challengesAdvantages
• Production of sufficient amounts of highly purified standard antigens
• Safety
Challenges
• The level of the immune response
• Immunogenecity
Phenotypic correction of genetic controlof immune response

The use of Polyoxidonium® improves vaccine safety and
efficiency• PO interacts with HA subunits y multipoint
binding, thus producing the stable 117-220 nm structures
• These structures imitate 80-120 nm flu virions• The way of presentation PO-HA strustures to
immune system is similar to the way of presentation native flu virus
Result: induction of the adequate immune response

HIV vaccine Vichrepol Phase I clinical trials results:
immunogenecity
• Vichrepol induces anti HIV Ab in immunized volunteers
• The higher dose the higher the immune response in individual and the higher the number of responders per group
