Abstract
The main objective of these studies was to investigate whether the nanoparticle delivery has any immunopotentiation effect at modest doses of a few micro- or nanograms of CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG ODN) and what would be the influence on T cell responses at such low doses. Various doses (5 to 0.05 μg) of a model CpG ODN adjuvant (ܢ) along with 2 Lf tetanus toxoid (TT) were formulated in either nanoparticles using poly(D,L-lactic-coglycolic acid) (PLGA) 50:50 co-polymer, or saline. Strong antigen specific ex vivo T cell proliferation was observed for the Balb / c mice receiving immunogens in nanoparticles. At 5 μg dose of CpG ODN, the T cell stimulation index (SI) was 241 as compared with 74 for the same dose when given in saline. Comparable SI value of 78 was observed at 100-fold lower dose (0.05 μg) using nanoparticles. Similarly, significantly higher (P < 0.01) cytokine secretion was observed for nanoparticles groups. A ten-fold lower dose (0.5 μg instead of 5 μg) of CpG ODN in nanoparticles was adequate to obtain levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-2 comparable to those observed following immunisations in saline. The immunopotentiation effect of the particulate delivery on antibody response (total IgG and subtypes) was not so marked. These studies emphasise that antigen delivery in biodegradable nanoparticles can facilitate induction of strong T cell responses, particularly of the Th1 type, at extremely lower doses of CpG ODN. Such reduction in the effective dose would be advantageous for minimising the potential side effects of these novel adjuvants.

Advances of natural products, bio-actives and novel drug delivery system against emerging viral infections
Due to the increasing prevalence of viral infections and the ability of these human pathogens to develop resistance to current treatment strategies, there is a great need to find and develop new compounds to combat them. These molecules must have low toxicity, specific activity and high bioavailability. The most suitable ...read more
Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
