Sumario:Vaccines are widely used worldwide to prevent and protect from various infections. A variety of modern approaches to developing prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines is growing. In almost all cases, adjuvants are necessary to obtain an effective immune response.This work investigated the possibility of using the pharmaceutical peptide drug Stemokin as an adjuvant stimulating a balanced Th1/Th2 response.A study was conducted to compare the activity of Stemokin versus the approved adjuvant Alhydrogel in a murine vaccination model with the approved VAXIGRIP® vaccine.The first proof-of-concept experimental study shows that the peptide Ile-Glu-Trp has the adjuvant vaccine properties and anti-HA IgG2a enhancing response, revealing a Th1- favoring balanced Th1/Th2 immunomodulation.
