NLRP3 inflammasome
|
|---|---|
| ln Vivo |
Research on mouse APCs (DCs and macrophages) identifies QS-21 as an activator of the NLRP3 inflammasome, which in turn triggers the release of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β/IL-18 that is dependent on caspase-1 and promotes the maturation of Th 17 cells or INF-γ-mediated Th1 responses [3].

| Additional Infomation |
QS-21 is an investigational adjuvant added to vaccines and other immunotherapies to enhance the body's immune response to antigens contained in the treatment. It is a major member of the Stimulon adjuvant family. Antigenics is currently conducting clinical trials to evaluate it as a vaccine additive in multiple disease areas. Stimulon is reportedly found in the soap tree (Quillaja saponaria), and data exist on this. QS-21 is a purified natural saponin isolated from the bark of the soap tree (Quillaja saponaria Molina) and possesses potential immunoadjuvant activity. When used in combination with vaccine peptides, QS-21 can enhance total antitumor vaccine-specific antibody responses and cytotoxic T-cell responses. See also: Obi-821 (partial composition).
Drug Indications Studied for the treatment of genital herpes, HIV infection, hepatitis (viral, hepatitis B), influenza, malaria, melanoma, and viral infections. Mechanism of Action QS-21 has the potential to enhance total vaccine-specific antibody responses and T-cell responses. Furthermore, QS-21 appears to improve vaccine efficacy with relatively small amounts of antigen and exhibits synergistic effects with other adjuvants. Because QS-21 can enhance the body's immune response to very low doses of antigen, it can "save" vaccine antigen, thereby significantly reducing the amount of antigen required for a given dose and making vaccine production more economical.Mechanism of Action |
