Nanoparticle based shot could boost efficacy, accelerate production of seasonal flu vaccines Seasonal flu vaccines typically work 40-60% of the time, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). An experimental recombinant protein nanoparticle vaccine that stimulates a strong immune response is hoping to address that inefficiency. Key to the vaccines success is a liposome the developers created called cobalt-porphyrin-phospholipid, or CoPoP....

Jonathan Lovell, associate professor Department of Biomedical Engineering An experimental flu vaccine consisting of billions of tiny spherical sacs that carry infection-fighting proteins throughout the body has proven effective in preclinical studies. Described in a study published May 24 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the vaccine has the potential to: Improve the effectiveness of seasonal flu vaccines, which typically work 40-60% of the time, according to the U.S. Cent...
