ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Polymeric nanoparticles used for antigen delivery against infections and for cancer immunotherapy are an emerging therapeutic strategy in promoting the development of innovative vaccines. Beyond their capability to create targeted delivery systems with controlled release of payloads, biodegradable polymers are utilized for their ability to enhance the immunogenicity and stability of antigens. AREAS COVERED This review extensively discusses the physicochemical parameters that affect the behavior of nanoparticles as antigen-delivery systems. Additionally, various types of natural and synthetic polymers and recent advancements in nanoparticle-based targeted vaccine production are reviewed. EXPERT OPINION Biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles have gained major interest in the vaccination filed and have been extensively used to encapsulate antigens against a wide variety of tumors. Moreover, their versatility in terms of tunning their physicochemical characteristics, and their surface, facilitates the targeting to antigen presenting cells and enhances immune response.Palavras-chave
