Adjuvant additives significantly increase vaccine efficacy. However, adjuvants also cause inflammatory side-effects, such as pyrexia, which currently limits their use. To address this, we created a thermophobic vaccine adjuvant engineered to attenuate potency at temperatures correlating to pyrexia. Thermophobic adjuvants were synthesized by combining a rationally designed trehalose glycolipid CLR agonist with thermoresponsive poly-N-isoporpylacrylamide (NIPAM) via Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain-Transfer polymerization.
Presenter: Tony Carnahan, School of Biological Sciences, Washington State University

Metallic nanoparticles are nanoscale particles of metals that have unique properties with applications in various fields such as medicine, catalysis, sensing, and energy. Anisotropic metallic nanoparticles exhibit distinctive optical, electronic, and catalytic properties that depend on their shape and size. They can also show enhanced catalytic activity and selectivity for various reactions due to their exposed facets and edges.
