[h=3]Abstract[/h] The mucosa is the primary point of entry for pathogens making it an important vaccination site to produce a protective mucosal immune response. While the sublingual (SL) mucosa presents several barriers to vaccine penetration, its unique anatomy and physiology makes it one of the best options for mucosal vaccination. Efficient and directed delivery of adjuvants and antigens to appropriate immune mediators in the SL tissue will aid in development of effective SL vaccines against infectious diseases. Herein we demonstrate a robust immune response against influenza antigens co-delivered sublingually with engineered liposomes carrying the synthetic Toll-like receptor-4 agonist, CRX-601. Liposome modification with PEG copolymers (Pluronics), phospholipid-PEG conjugates and chitosan were evaluated for their ability to generate an immune response in a SL murine influenza vaccine model. Phospholipid-PEG conjugates were more effective than Pluronic copolymers in generating stable, surface neutral liposomes. SL vaccination with surface modified liposomes carrying CRX-601 adjuvant generated significant improvements in flu-specific responses compared with unmodified liposomes. Furthermore, the coating of modified liposomes with methylglycol chitosan produced the most effective flu-specific immune response. These results demonstrate efficient SL vaccine delivery utilizing a combination of a muco-adhesive and surface neutral liposomes to achieve a robust mucosal and systemic immune response.
