There are over 6 billion vaccine doses administered each year, most containing aluminium-based adjuvants, yet we still do not have a complete understanding of their mechanisms of action. Recent evidence has identified host DNA and downstream sensing as playing a significant role in aluminium adjuvant (aluminium hydroxide) activity. However, the cellular source of this DNA, how it is sensed by the immune system and the consequences of this for vaccination remains unclear. Here we show that the very early injection site reaction is characterised by inflammatory chemokine production and neutrophil recruitment. Intravital imaging demonstrates that the Alum injection site is a focus of neutrophil swarms and extracellular DNA strands. These strands were confirmed as neutrophil extracellular traps due to their sensitivity to DNAse and absence in mice deficient in peptidylarginine deiminase 4. Further studies in PAD4−/− mice confirmed a significant role for neutrophil extracellular trap formation in the adjuvant activity of Alum. By revealing neutrophils recruited to the site of Alum injection as a source of the DNA that is detected by the immune system this study provides the missing link between Alum injection and the activation of DNA sensors that enhance adjuvant activity, elucidating a key mechanism of action for this important vaccine component. Researchers have identified the mechanism of action in which aluminium hydroxide (alum) boosts the efficacy of co-administered vaccines. In this study, James Brewer and colleagues from the University of Glasgow, UK, studied the effects of alum co-administration in a mouse model, finding that the compound induces immune cells, called neutrophils, to swarm around the site of immunization and produce neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs, webs of DNA and cell contents formed under certain conditions of neutrophil cell death, immobilize pathogens and promote their elimination. This study builds on previous research and demonstrates that alum artificially stimulates this pathway to boost the adaptive immune response to vaccine antigens, increasing their immunogenicity. The authors also suggest further study into neutrophil components as potential therapeutic agents.
