- Adjuvant: Enhance and direct the adaptative
immune response to vaccine antigens
- Our lab created Army Liposome Formulation (ALF)
that contains various immunostimulants (e.g., Lipid A, QS21 and Aluminum salt)

Experimental vaccine:
- Malaria
- Ricin
- Ebola
- Anthrax
- HIV
- Dengue
- Cancer
Human Studies Vaccines: 14 Phase I & 2 Phase II
- Malaria
- HIV
- Cancer
- Meningococcus
ALF in Vaccines
- Dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC)
- Dimyristoyl phosphatidylglycerol (DMPG)
- Cholesterol
- Monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA)
Core composition of ALF
ALF: Liposomes with MPLA ALFQ: ALF + QS21 ALFA: ALF + aluminum salt ALFQA: ALFQ + aluminum salt
Types of ALF
Rationale
To establish a stand-alone method for particle size characterization

Monodisperse Polydisperse
Challenges of particle sizing methods
Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) Laser Diffraction (LD) Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA)
Autocorrelation of scattered intensities to deduce average particle size
- Range 30 -10000 nm
- does not work on polydisperse sample
Narrow and wide angle scattering to deduce average particle size
- Range 10 nm - 5 mm
- does not work on polydisperse sample
Tracking of each particle undergoing Brownian (random) motion to determine particle size
- Small size range 30 - 1000 nm
- works on polydisperse sample
