Topical immunisation offers a novel vaccination method by utilizing the skin's immune cells. Vesicular carriers like liposomes show promise for delivering vaccines effectively through the skin.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Dermatology
  • Vaccinology

Background:

  • The skin possesses inherent immune capabilities, including resident immunocompetent cells and antigen-presenting cells, crucial for initiating immune responses.
  • Topical immunisation leverages these skin-resident immune cells for vaccination, offering a convenient alternative to traditional methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the potential and feasibility of using vesicular carrier systems for topical vaccine delivery.
  • To explore the efficacy of liposomes, vesosomes, niosomes, and transferosomes in topical immunisation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on topical immunisation and vesicular drug delivery systems.
  • Analysis of the immunological mechanisms involved in skin-based vaccination.
  • Evaluation of different vesicular carriers for topical delivery of biomacromolecules.

Main Results:

  • Skin-resident antigen-presenting cells are highly effective in initiating both humoral and cellular immune responses.
  • Vesicular carriers, including liposomes, vesosomes, niosomes, and transferosomes, are suitable for the topical delivery of vaccine antigens.
  • These systems demonstrate significant potential for enhancing topical immunisation strategies.

Conclusions:

  • Vesicular carrier-based vaccine delivery presents a feasible and promising approach for topical immunisation.
  • Further research into these systems could lead to more convenient and effective vaccination strategies.
