Adjuvant is a term used to describe a variety of components co-administered with a vaccine that enhance the immunogenicity of vaccine antigens. These components can be broadly divided into two subsets on the basis of their dominant mechanism of action: delivery systems and immune potentiators. The cells, receptors and signalling pathways of the innate immune system are important targets for improved delivery systems and immune potentiators. The integrated model of host defence indicates that optimal generation of antigen-specific memory (the goal of vaccination) requires innate immune activation. Recent advances in elucidating the mechanisms of innate immune activation and the links between innate and adaptive responses have shown that numerous natural and synthetic compounds possess specific immune-potentiating activities. These compounds have promise as next generation vaccine adjuvants. The identification of the imidizaquinoline class of SMIPs (small-molecule immune potentiators) as Toll-like receptor-dependent indicate that the small-molecule platform could be exploited for immune potentiator design and discovery. Vaccine delivery systems are used to ensure that the antigens and immune potentiators included in a vaccine are able to interact with the appropriate tissues or cells to promote the induction of a potent immune response. Biodegradable microparticles are proving to be attractive delivery systems for both vaccine antigens and adjuvants. Mucosal vaccine delivery systems are specifically designed to allow vaccines to be successfully applied to mucosal surfaces, mostly involving oral or intranasal administration. Important elements of mucosal delivery systems include components designed to protect antigens from degradation and to promote their interaction with mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue. Adjuvant design has historically had a touch of alchemy at its heart due to its reliance on the complex biology of innate immune activation. However, a new mechanistic understanding of innate immunity, combined with new adjuvant and delivery platforms for exploiting this knowledge, has led to significant advances recently. Although many challenges remain, the field is moving rapidly and the proper tools and methodologies are in place for the use of traditional drug discovery engines in guiding the development of vaccine adjuvants. In this review, we outline the current trends in immune potentiator, delivery system and adjuvant design that will shape the vaccines of the future.
