Developing safe and efficient bioformulations using approved materials and ingenious designs can accelerate the clinical translation process.

Scientists from the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a new therapeutic tumor vaccine based on self-healing polylactic acid microcapsules, which can efficiently activate the immune system and inhibit tumor development.

This research was published in Science Advances on May 22.

Therapeutic cancer vaccines that harness the immune system to reject cancer cells have shown great promise for tumor treatment.

The research team, led by Prof. Ma Guanghui and Prof. Wei Wei from IPE, already designed and fabricated a variety of tumor vaccines in their previous work. Theses vaccines have been proven effective in different tumor models, such as lymphoma, melanoma and breast cancer.

The researchers were impelled to improve the earlier tumor vaccines, however, due to certain limitations. For example, Prof. Ma said that an unfavorable immunization microenvironment, along with a complicated preparation process and the need for frequent vaccinations significantly compromised their performance.

“Therefore, we designed a novel microcapsule-based formulation for high-performance cancer vaccinations,” said Prof. Ma.

This study represents the first time researchers used self-healing microcapsules with post-encapsulation, multiple loading, and efficient modulation of immunization microenvironments in a tumor vaccine.

The special self-healing feature provides a mild and efficient paradigm for antigen microencapsulation. After vaccination, these microcapsules create a favorable immunization microenvironment in situ, wherein antigen release kinetics, recruited cell behavior and acid surrounding environment work in a synergetic manner.

Owing to synergetic effects, the vaccine succeeds in increasing antigen utilization, improving antigen presentation and activating antigen presenting cells. “As a result, effective T cell response, potent tumor inhibition, anti-metastatic effects and prevention of postsurgical recurrence are achieved with various types of antigens in different tumor models,” said Prof. Wei.

Moreover, the researchers verified the availability of the novel vaccine platform used in the neoantigen vaccine, which conforms to precision medicine, said Prof. Wei. Due to the simple post-encapsulation process, the clinicians were able to prepare the neoantigen formulation by themselves at any time.

A peer reviewer from Science Advances described the study as “comprehensive and rationally designed.” The reviewer also emphasized that the results are “impressive” and the work has “high value for therapeutic vaccines and cancer immunotherapy.”


Our immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work in harmony to protect the body against deadly diseases. This immune system attacks and eliminates foreign invading particles with exquisite specificity.

Diseases are caused by malfunctioning or underperforming immune response; an over-reactive immune system can cause autoimmunity, which may lead to the destruction of healthy tissue [1,2], and an underactive immune system can make our body more susceptible to infection [3].

Vaccines consist of a biological agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and improves immunity against that particular disease. They develop immunity that can control and adjust unbalanced immune systems that are either overreactive or underactive [4,5,6]. Weiner et al. described the first therapeutic vaccine against autoimmunity [7]. The development of vaccines has historically been based on Louis Pasteur’s “isolate, inactivate, inject” paradigm [8].

Currently, vaccines are considered to be one of the most effective tools for the prevention of infectious diseases. Thus, vaccine developments against bacterial infections, viral infections, and cancer are considered to be significant milestones in the field of medicine [9]. In the past, traditional vaccines made from pathogens in either killed or inactivated forms were considered efficient [8,10].

Vaccines with live-attenuated pathogens make use of the weakened type of microbe to create a stronger and enduring immune response. However, a significant concern arises when the weak pathogen might revert to its active form, causing severe disease condition. The mutagenic actions inside the infected host organism could generate more virulent strains.

In addition, pathogens in their inactive or killed forms cannot revert to active forms, and tend to stimulate weaker immune responses, which in turn requires multiple administrations of doses, hence limiting its practical use.

Usually, vaccines are comprised of an antigen, which acts as the target for causing immune response, and an adjuvant, which is co-administered with the antigen to enhance the immune response. A

luminum was the first-ever adjuvant, and was used primarily to increase antibody production, making it a suitable candidate for vaccine formulation [11].

However, aluminum adjuvants fail to generate strong cell-mediated immunity, and carry the risk of autoimmunity, and long-term brain inflammation, causing adverse health issues.

Adjuvants have been reported to cause both local as well as systemic toxicity. Certain adjuvants like Freund’s incomplete adjuvant, Quil A, induce local toxicity, whereas adjuvants based on pathogen associated molecular patterns like Aluminum adjuvants induce systemic toxicity [12].

Another adjuvant was Freund’s incomplete adjuvant in the form of mineral oil-in-water emulsion that contained heat-killed mycobacteria; it was found to be reactogenic in humans [13].

Although these adjuvants could induce local immune reactions, they failed to generate strong cell-mediated immunity, which demanded the development of new adjuvants for successful vaccine delivery.

According to a web-based central database pertaining to vaccine adjuvants, nearly a hundred vaccine adjuvants have been used in various vaccines against different pathogens, of which very few have received licenses for human use [14].

Recently, nanoparticles (NPs) have gained enormous attention as delivery vehicles for vaccines. Nanovaccine formulations not only provide enhanced antigen stability and immunogenicity, but also offer targeted delivery and prolonged release.

A high number of NP vaccines with varied physicochemical characteristics and properties have been approved for clinical use [15,16,17]. The primary purpose of the use of nano- and microparticle-based delivery systems is to enhance the duration of antigen presentation and dendritic cell (DC)-mediated antigen uptake, which result in the direct stimulation of DCs, and promote cross-presentation [15,16,18].

Furthermore, NPs help in protecting the antigen and adjuvant from premature enzymatic and proteolytic degradation [19]. Vaccine antigens can be delivered to the target site by either encapsulating them inside an NP, or by decorating them onto the surface of NPs.

The NP delivery systems can load multiple components in a single carrier, which enable a prolonged, simultaneous, and targeted delivery of antigens [20,21], adjuvants [22,23], DNA plasmids [24], and detained bacterial toxins [25].

The development of vaccine candidates is based on several factors, such as minimalist compositions, low immunogenicity, and formulations that boost antigen effectiveness [26,27,28,29].

Owing to their unique physicochemical characteristics, such as large surface area-to-volume ratio, controllable size and shape with different surface charge, NPs can be surface-engineered with peptides, proteins, polymers, cell-penetrating peptides, and other targeting ligands, which make them a versatile delivery vehicle for vaccine formulations.

Design of NPs based vaccines can assist for multimodal imaging to improve therapeutic level by visualizing the vaccine inside our body [30,31,32,33]. Although NPs have the abovementioned advantages, they have disadvantages, in that they lack colloidal stability in physiological conditions due to protein corona formations, and have undesirable interaction with the reticuloendothelial system (RES) [34,35].

Biomimetic NPs are a novel class of NPs that exhibit enhanced colloidal stability, while efficiently avoiding unwanted interaction with immune cells like RES, and prolonging circulation in the blood [36,37,38].

These nanovaccines involve carrier NPs that mimic biological membranes, and when administered in the body, achieve prolonged circulation and evasion of immune responses [39]. Among biomimetic NPs, liposomes are obtained by the dispersion of phospholipids in water, and have a high loading capacity, with the ability to co-deliver both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs [40].

Cell-membrane coated NPs are another type of biomimetic nanocarrier with a “core–shell” structure, in which the NP forms the hydrophobic core, and a thin layer of plasma membrane coating acts as the shell.

In this NP, various cell membranes are used to cloak synthetic NPs through a top-down fabrication method, thus preserving the physicochemical properties of the core synthetic NPs, while maintaining the cellular composition on its hydrophilic membrane shell [41].

Hu et al. [42] reported the first membrane-coated NPs where red blood cell (RBC) membranes were coated over a polymeric NP through extrusion [42]. Many types of membranes from different sources, such as RBCs [41,42,43], leukocytes [44,45,46], cytotoxic T-cells [47], NK cells [48], platelets [49], macrophages [44,50], and cancer cells [51,52], have been used in the preparation of membrane-coated NPs.

Another type of biomimetic nanovaccine can be self-assembling proteins, which are known to have high symmetry and stability, and can be structurally organized into particles of sizes (10–150) nm [53,54].

These self-assembling protein NPs play diverse physiological roles, and are selected as vaccine carriers owing to their ability to self-assemble and deploy into a definite structure that mimics a natural microbe architecture [55]. Virus-like particles (VLPs) are another type of biomimetic nanovaccine that contain noninfectious subsets of virus that lack genetic materials; they assemble without containing any viral RNA [56].

In this review, we discuss the recent advances in biomimetic nanovaccines and their applications in anti-bacterial therapy, anti-HIV therapy, anti-malarial therapy, anti-melittin therapy, and anti-tumor immunity.

Components of Biomimetic Immunomodulatory Nanovaccines

Biomimetic nanovaccines include a biomimetic carrier that is loaded with therapeutic molecules that are designed to deliver to the target site. Figure 1 shows that the various types of biomimetic NPs involve liposomes, protein NPs, cell-membrane decorated NPs, and VLPs.

Liposomes
Liposomes are biomimetic products that are formed by dispersing phospholipids in water [58,62,63]. They occur as either unilamellar vesicles with a single phospholipid bilayer, or as multilamellar vesicles with several concentric phospholipid shells separated by different layers of water. Liposomes can be modified to incorporate both hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules into the phospholipid bilayer and aqueous core [64].

Liposomes can be used to encapsulate antigens within their core for delivery. They form virosomes when viral envelope glycoproteins are incorporated into their base [65,66]. Influenza virus was the primary focus for virosome studies which has been established for industrial application as human vaccine [67].

Five vaccines based on virosome are under clinical trials, and four virosome vaccines are approved for commercial application in various diseases [67]. One of the commonly used NPs for adjuvant delivery in DNA vaccines is liposome-polycation-DNA NPs; they are formed by the combination of cationic liposomes and cationic polymer-condensed DNA.

Liposome-polycation-DNA assembles to form a nanostructure, with the condensed DNA located inside the liposome with a size of 150 nm [24,68]. Moon et al. [21] reported the development of a malaria vaccine, which could be used for the delivery of polymeric PLGA NPs enveloped with lipid antigens.

In their work, Moon and coworkers developed a pathogen-mimicking nanovaccine, in which the candidate malarial antigen was conjugated to the lipid membrane and incorporated with an immunostimulatory molecule, monophosphoryl lipid A-MPLA, and further used to elicit immune responses against P. vivax sporozoites [21].

Yang et al. [52] used cancer cell membranes which were modified with lipids using the lipid-anchoring method, and then further coated them over polymeric NPs with a toll-like receptor 7 (TLR 7). This biomimetic membrane nanocarrier was reported for use as an anticancer vaccine, as well as for the delivery of TLR 7 as an adjuvant [52].

Virus-Like Particles (VLPs)
VLPs are molecules that resemble the structure of viruses without viral genetic material. These self-assembling NPs that lack infectious nucleic acid are formed by the self-assembly of biocompatible capsid proteins.

They are ideal nanovaccine systems, as they have the innate viral structure, which can interact with the immune system without any threat of causing infections [69,70]. These VLPs can act as vaccines have nano-size and a repetitive structural order, and could induce an immune response in the absence of an adjuvant [71].

VLPs assemble without encapsulating any viral RNA, and hence they are noninfectious and nonreplicating, as the genes coded for viral integrase are deleted before expression. This prevents packed genome integration into the host cell, as well as the recombination of the live or defective virus.

The first VLP vaccine was developed against the hepatitis B virus, which was later commercialized in 1986 [72]. VLP vaccines against hepatitis E and the human papillomavirus have been used in human since 2006 [73,74].

VLPs can be obtained from a variety of viruses, and can have different sizes ranging (20 to 800) nm; further, they can be obtained via different processes [56]. The initial approach to obtain VLPs involves the self-assembly of capsid proteins in the expression host, followed by purification of the assembled protein to avoid contaminants that are adhered or encapsulated.

However, in a few cases, for better quality and low contamination, the VLP structure needs to be disassembled and reassembled. Another emerging method to obtain VLPs is to use cell-free in vitro processing, wherein at first large-scale purification is performed to prevent contamination, and then assembly of VLP structures in vitro, to avoid their disassembly in a cell; commercialized VLPs are derived from a target virus by self-assembling its proteins.

For VLP to be used as a delivery vehicle, the target antigen from a virus different from the one used in the VLP is attached to the VLP surface; and this surface-modified VLP paves the way for its use in targeting various diseases. VLPs could be engineered to attach additional proteins on its surface, either through the fusion of proteins on the particle, or by expressing multiple antigens, which in turn protects against its source virus and other antigens present on its surface [75].

Polysaccharides and small organic molecules are non-protein antigens that can be chemically attached to the VLP surface to form bioconjugate particles [76]. The baculovirus expression system is mostly used to generate VLPs with an excellent safety profile, as baculovirus does not naturally infect human [77].

In another study, a safe and efficient VLP system based on avian retrovirus was designed such that the system was considered safe, as it could not replicate itself in human cells.

This system was considered as safe because the VLP constitutes only Gag fusion protein; a single VLP could deliver about (2000–5000) copies of the Gag fusion protein into the transduced cell. In another study, VLPs were created for delivery with two different approaches: the intracellular distribution of Gag fusion proteins, or by modifying the surface of VLPs for receptor/ligand-mediated delivery (Figure 2) [57].

Self-assembling Protein Nanoparticles (NPs)
Many naturally occurring proteins can self-assemble to form NPs with high symmetry and stability, and these NPs are structurally organized to form particles that range in size (10–150) nm [53,54]. These NPs with diverse physiological roles are selected as vaccine carriers, owing to their ability to self-assemble and deploy into a definite structure that mimics a natural microbe architecture [55].

Ferritin is a protein that protects cells from damage caused by Fenton reactions, in which iron catalyzes hydrogen peroxide, and converts it into highly toxic hydroxyl radical. Under oxidizing conditions, harmful reactive oxygen species are produced from free Fe (II), which can damage cellular machinery [78].

Ferritin has a hollow structure, and the ability to store iron within this hollow cavity; thus, it acts as a storage system for iron [79]. Ferritin can self-assemble into spherical nanostructures and be used to fuse with the influenza virus haemagglutinin (HA) genetically, and the recombined protein spontaneously assembles into a particle of octahedral symmetry.

This reforms into eight trimeric HA spikes, and elicits a stronger immune response, compared to an inactivated trivalent influenza virus [80]. Another type of self-assembling protein is the major vault protein (MVP). Champion et al. [81] reported that 96 units of the MVP self-assemble to form a barrel-shaped vault NP of length 70 nm and width 40 nm.

Further, they mentioned that genetically fused antigens that have minimal interactions could be loaded onto vault NPs that had self-assembled through mixing with MVPs. In their work, they encapsulated an immunogenic protein termed the major outer membrane protein of Chlamydia muridarum into hollow vault nanocapsules.

These hollow vault nanocapsules were modified to bind IgG for an enhanced immune response, to induce protective immunity at distant mucosal surfaces [81]. Wahome et al. reported another self-assembling protein NP, an adjuvant-free immunogen [82] obtained by the self-assembly of a monomeric chain into an ordered oligomeric form as an antigen-presenting system that could be suitable for vaccines.

This self-assembling protein NP was formed by incorporating the membrane-proximal external region (MPER) of HIV-1 gp41, which is identified as a target for a wide range of neutralizing antibodies, in the N-terminal pentamer, to produce an α-helical state of the 4E10 epitope, without causing structural changes in 2F5 epitopes.

These self-assembled NPs showed enhanced membrane-proximal region-specific titers, owing to the presence of a repetitive antigen display of MPER even without any adjuvant, thus resulting in the formation of an adjuvant-free immunogen as a potential HIV vaccine [82].

Cell Membrane-Decorated Nanoparticles (NPs)
As discussed in the previous section, cell membrane decorated NP has emerged as a promising method for camouflage by forming a thin layer of the cell membrane coating over the NPs. The camouflaged NPs inherit the properties of the source cells, depending on the source cells used.

For example, when RBCs are employed as the source membrane, membrane-coated NPs are found to possess immune evasion and prolonged circulation [42]. Biomimetic NPs attain these cell mimicking properties by the transference of the source cell’s membrane proteins onto the surface of NPs [39].

This functionalization approach is regarded as highly versatile, allowing the delivery of a wide range of cargoes that encompass various inner-core materials.

Targeted drug delivery employs the inherent adhering capability of source cells. For example, NPs camouflaged with a layer of cancer cell membranes showed inherited homotypic adhesion properties, and an intrinsic capacity to bind with the source cells [20,51].

In addition, NPs camouflaged with platelet membranes displayed the ability to mimic platelet binding with pathogens, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, for targeted antibiotic delivery. Meanwhile, platelets help in recognizing tumor cells, including circulating tumor cells, through their ligand binding interactions.

Platelet membrane-camouflaged NPs were primarily formulated for the site-specific delivery of anticancer drugs. These persuasive applications inspired the development of cell membrane-camouflaged NPs for targeted antibiotic delivery against the H. pylori infection. Angsantikul et al. [60] reported a nanotherapeutic that was obtained by coating antibiotic-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA NPs) with a gastric epithelial cell membrane against an H. pylori infection.

In their study, it was found that the gastric epithelial cellular membrane-coated NP had the same surface antigens as the source cells that exhibit inherent adhesion towards H. pylori bacteria [60].

The use of bacterial membranes as vaccination materials has gained considerable interest. They can stimulate innate immunity and promote adaptive immune responses by exhibiting different pathogen associated-molecular patterns (PAMPs) for a large number of immunogenic antigens with adjuvant properties [83].

Camouflaging NPs with covering bacterial membranes results in the preservation of bacterial characteristics, and thus helps in mimicking natural antigen presentation by bacteria to the immune system. Gao et al. [83] reported a bacterial membrane coated NP for antibacterial therapy, in which gold NPs were coated with bacterial outer vesicles.

In this study, they chose E. coli bacteria, obtained its outer membranes, and coated gold NPs of 30 nm size with them; they found that this could induce rapid activation and DC maturation in the lymph nodes. Further, vaccination with these NPs produced long-lasting and robust antibody responses [83].

Exosomes
Exosomes are nanosized membrane-enclosed extracellular vesicles originated from the inner endosomal membrane. These vesicles are composed of a lipophilic bilayer with proteins and genetic materials such as micro RNAs, mRNAs, and DNAs [84].

Exosomes are the mediator between cells and can induce immune response by activating natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells (DC), and T lymphocytes cells [85]. Various physiological stimuli such as inflammation, oxidative stress and cell growth affects the secretion of exosomes from the cells which is used as a prominent diagnosis marker [86].

Exosomes are acts as vaccination against infection. It can be used as the carrier of pathogen antigens to by modulating the immune response and recruiting monocytes, macrophages, NK cells, and T cells against the infectious agents [87].

Cargoes Used for Immunomodulatory Nanovaccines
As mentioned in the earlier Section, biomimetic immunomodulatory nanovaccines are composed of 1) biomimetic NPs, and 2) the cargoes used. In this section, the different types of cargoes used for nanovaccines are explained.

Adjuvants
Adjuvants are ingredients used in vaccines to enable the body to produce a stronger immune response, and help vaccines work better. There are different mechanisms by which adjuvants elicit immune responses, which are as follows:

1) prolonged release of antigen at the site of injection,

2) cytokines and chemokine level gets upregulated,

3) recruitment of cells at the injection site,

4) antigen uptake and presentation to antigen-presenting cells increases,

5) APC activates and matures, resulting in the migration to draining lymph nodes, and

6) inflammasome activation [88,89,90].

Generally, adjuvants are classified based on their mechanism of action, physicochemical properties, and origin. Adjuvants can be classified as delivery systems or immune potentiators, depending on their action mechanism. Table 2 describes the partial list of adjuvants used in the abovementioned three categories.

Champion et al. reported a vault NP vaccine for inducing protective immunity at distant mucosal surfaces. These vault NPs contain immunogenic proteins, and hence they are considered as adjuvants [81].

In another study, Riitho et al. [91] formulated a biomimetic vaccine by encapsulating a viral protein inside a polymeric shell, wherein the viral protein was known to have effective cross-presentation by MHC class I.

These polymeric NPs were adjuvanted with polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)), and loaded with viral proteins that act as antigens. These nanovaccines exhibited significant virus-neutralizing activity, and they were effective against infections caused by the bovine virus diarrhea-virus [91]. Wang et al. [22] reported the use of a dual-functional nanomodulator to enhance CpG mediated cancer therapy. In their work, they synthesized manganese oxide nanosheets and conjugated anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and CpG-silver nanoclusters as the adjuvant [22]. Yang et al. [52] reported the use of a lipid (DSPE-PEG-mannose) modified cancer cell membrane that was coated onto a polymeric NP loaded with adjuvant TLR 7 for an anticancer effect [52].

Recently, Le et al. [92] suggested an in situ nanoadjuvant as a tumor vaccine to prevent the long-term recurrence of tumors. In their study, polydopamine NPs were loaded with imiquimod, and then the NP surface was modified with programmed death-ligand 1 (PDL1) antibodies for the co-delivery of both antigen and adjuvants to the same antigen-presenting cells. This nanoadjuvant with PDL1 antibody could block PDL1 immune checkpoint in tumors, and it is expected to have combinational photothermal and immunotherapy effects [92].

Moon et al. reported the development of a recombinant antigen derived from the circumsporozoite protein, which is the most predominant membrane protein on sporozoites. Their initial work stated that this recombinant antigen, when mixed with conventional antigens could elicit an antigen-specific antibody response [21].

They used a lipid enveloped polymeric NP, and conjugated the malarial antigen into the lipid membrane with an immunostimulatory molecule monophosphoryl lipid A incorporated into the lipid membranes, which resulted in a pathogen-mimicking NP vaccine [21]. Another study suggested that antigen-loaded NPs that display monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) and further encapsulation with adjuvant CpG motifs and model antigen Ovalbumin could act as an efficient bacterial vaccine [93].

In that study, CpG potency was found to be enhanced when it was encapsulated inside the NP, which in turn highlights the importance of the biomimetic presentation of pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Because of MPLA with CpG, the pro-inflammatory, antigen-specific T helper 1 (Th 1) cellular and antibody-mediated immune responses were significantly increased [93]. Sahu et al. [23] reported the use of monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) NPs loaded with a Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) for delivery in the colon, which provided prolonged immunization against the Hepatitis B infection.

In this study, MPLA was the adjuvant; it activated toll-like receptor type 4 (TLR 4) and Hbs Ag that act as the antigens to be delivered, and thus enabled the simultaneous delivery of both adjuvant and antigens inside the colon.

The results indicated that it was effective in the generation of humoral and cellular immune responses [23]. Stimulator of interferon gene (STING) is a prominent agonist which stimulates cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) to activate IRF3 and NFκB pathways and secrete various pro-inflammatory cytokines. Jack Hu et al. had developed pH sensitive capsid-like hollow polymeric nanoparticle loaded with STING agonist, cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (cdGMP), as a Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) vaccine.

Delivery of both STING agonist and MERS-CoV receptor binding domain antigen in the surface of the nanoparticle mimicked as virus-liked nanoparticle and induced Th1 type immune response which is a prominent vaccine against the infection [94].

Detained Bacterial Toxins
A toxoid is a chemically or physically modified toxin that is no longer harmful but retains immunogenicity. Wang et al. [20] developed a nanotoxoid that consists of RBC membrane-coated polymeric NPs, and the membrane coating acts as a substrate for the pore-forming staphylococcal α-hemolysin (Hla) nanotoxoid, thereby effectively triggering the formation of germinal centers, and inducing high anti-Hla titers.

Further, the nanotoxoid formed showed superior protective immunity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) skin infection (Figure 3) [20].

Recently, Wei et al. [44] reported a macrophage-membrane-coated nanotoxoid against pathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It has already been reported previously that alveolar macrophages have cationic proteins that can bind to the outer membrane of the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and its flagella also get involved in phagocytosis.

Advantages of Nanovaccines
Biomimetic nanovaccines are ideal vaccine candidates, as they have unique physicochemical parameters, such as size, shape, and biomimicking property. This feature makes them a versatile delivery system for the delivery of antigens and adjuvants.

The main advantage of nanovaccines is their ability to incorporate both antigens and adjuvants within a single particle to produce maximum stimulation. The biomimicking property of these nanovaccines reduces interactions with RES cells, provides longer circulations, and prevents the burst release of adjuvants from its nano-formulation.

The synthesis methods and the choice of material used for NP formulations make the nanovaccine flexible, so that it can incorporate different molecules, such as proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, polymers, and nucleic acids.

The NP localization can be enhanced by modifying the NP surface with ligands that have specificity to immune cell receptors [95]. Moreover, antigens and adjuvants can be loaded into NPs either individually or for a combinatorial approach, and protect its molecule integrity from different enzymes, such as nucleases and phosphatases [96].

Besides these advantages, NP formulation also prevents adjuvants from degradation, protects the body from potential systemic toxicity caused by the premature release of adjuvants, and enhances immune response through extended cargo release [19].

Another advantage of biomimetic nanovaccines is their ability to target immune cells; because they are of nanosize, the nanovaccines drain into the lymphatic system, allowing for efficient delivery to lymph nodes, where immune cell density is high [97].

The selection of biomimetic NP plays an essential role in improving vaccine efficiency. Biomimetic nanovaccines helps in shielding the NPs to be recognized from mononuclear phagocytic system and helps in immune escape. Shielding the NPs protects the cargoes from premature release and further modification of the surface of nanovaccines with certain receptors enhances the targeting ability as well as helps in enhanced accumulation [98].

Clinical Aspects of Biomimetic Nanovaccines
Very few vaccine candidates have successfully reached the clinic after preclinical evaluations. Most vaccines that are available now in the market can elicit only humoral responses, thereby availing the need for the development of vaccines that can generate strong cellular responses for certain infectious diseases and cancer.

One of such biomimetic nanovaccines is “Mosquirix”, which was proved to be effective against malaria. This nanovaccine constituted the circumsporozoite protein of Plasmodium falciparum and MPLA 4 with a saponin adjuvant QS-21 [152].

Another nanovaccine, which is currently under clinical trials as “Vaxfectin®”, is cationic liposomal formulation by encapsulating therapeutic DNA vaccines against the herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2).

Vaxfectin® nanovaccines are also used for DNA immunization against influenza virus H5N1, and are also under clinical trials [153]. Another FDA-approved nanovaccine is Inflexal®V, where the HA surface molecules of the influenza virus are directly fused with lipid components, and used as a subunit influenza vaccine [154].

Generalized modulus for membrane antigens (GMMA) was derived from the outer membrane of genetically modified gram-negative bacteria. It can produce Penta-acylated lipopolysaccharide, and these vaccines were used against bacterial infection Shigellosis, and are in clinical trials now [155].

In addition to the nanovaccines, as mentioned earlier, Stimuvax® is another therapeutic liposome vaccine against cancer. It has a lipo-peptide called Tecemotide, which is used as an antigen target specific tumor antigens.

However, this vaccine failed in the III phase of clinical trials [156]. Another liposomal therapeutic vaccine, which is a modified form of Stimuvax®, is currently under clinical trials; this nanovaccine is composed of a synthetic peptide (antigen), an MPLA immunoadjuvant, and lipids [157].

Another biomimetic nanovaccine is Epaxal, a viral liposomal nanovaccine that uses viral glycoprotein fused with lipids as an adjuvant, and that is used against hepatitis A infection [158].
