FP adjuvants, particularly FP-18 and FP-20, offer another innovative approach to boosting vaccine efficacy by selectively stimulating Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) pathways. The simplicity of FP structures allows for scalable production of highly pure materials, ensuring a reliable and cost-effective supply for vaccine developers. Like VSA, FP adjuvants provide both humoral and cellular immune enhancements but achieve this through a targeted, mechanism-driven approach. FP-18 activates the MyD88-dependent pathway, leading to the release of critical cytokines such as TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-6. It also stimulates the TRIF-dependent pathway, which promotes a Type 1 interferon (IFN) signature, an essential component for antiviral responses.
