Semisynthetic Saponin Adjuvant-VSA 1
*Use only for intended field-of-use in human and animal vaccination research.*
VSA-1 is a semisynthetic saponin adjuvant prepared from naturally occurring and readily available Momordica saponin and capable of stimulating antigen-specific humoral and cellular immune responses. Its immunostimulating activity in enhancing the immune responses induced by the clinical glycoconjugate pneumococcal vaccine PCV13 is compared with QS-21 in female BALB/c mice. Both VSA-1 and QS-21 boosted IgG and opsonic antibodies titers against seven selected serotypes, including serotypes 3, 14, and 19A that are involved in most PCV13 breakthroughs.
