The Use of Nanobiotechnology in Immunology and Vaccination

Vaccines (Basel). 2021 Jan 21;9(2):74. doi: 10.3390/vaccines9020074.

Abstract

Nanotechnology uses the unique properties of nanostructures with a size of 1 to 200 nanometers. Different nanoparticles have shown great promise for the production of new vaccines and drugs. Nanostructures can be used to deliver immunological compounds more effectively than microstructures to target sites. Different nanostructures can be applied to form a new generation of vaccines, adjuvants, and immune system drugs. The goal of nanotechnology is to better respond to a wide range of infectious and non-infectious diseases.
