Nanotechnology-based adjuvants can enhance the immune response through various mechanisms:
1. Antigen Presentation: Nanoparticles can carry and present antigens in a more efficient manner, improving recognition by immune cells. 2. Targeted Delivery: They can be engineered to target specific cells, such as dendritic cells, which are crucial for initiating the immune response. 3. Sustained Release: Nanoparticles can provide a controlled and sustained release of the antigen, leading to prolonged immune stimulation.
