Background & Objective: The influenza virus causes hundreds of deaths in the world. Despite the availability of some authorized vaccines for all age groups and its approved beneficial effects, the influenza is still a major problem for public health.
Materials & Methods: In this study, the adjuvant of MF59 was developed by methylglycol-chitosan. The physico-chemical characteristics and immune response stimulation of novel adjuvant were measured in combination with the influenza virus.
Results: The new adjuvant was produced with a nano-droplet diameter of 156 and Zeta potential of 29. The pH of adjuvant was not significantly changed for two years. Immunization of mice with developed adjuvant makes more HAI titer than MF59 adjuvant.
Conclusion: The favorable characteristics of physico-chemical properties and lack of local side effects of developed adjuvant as well as its strong humoral immunity can introduce it as a novel MF59 adjuvants.
