Silica nanoparticles as the adjuvant for the immunisation of mice using hepatitis B core virus-like particles.

Advances in nanotechnology and nanomaterials have facilitated the development of silicon dioxide, or Silica, particles as a promising immunological adjuvant for the generation of novel prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines. In the present study, we have compared the adjuvanting potential of commerci...
