Rosales-Mendoza S., González-Ortega O. Nanovaccines: An Innovative Technology to Fight Human and Animal Diseases

Springer, 2019. — 347 p. — ISBN: 978-3-030-31667-9.This book provides a compilation of the current developments in mucosal nanovaccines, which are an attractive approach to fight against infectious and non-communicable diseases. Since nanomaterials possess unique properties; many of them have a positive effect on vaccine efficacy when used as antigen carriers and have been applied in vaccinology with significant advances over the past years. This book addresses the methodologies for mucosal nanovaccines synthesis; based on the following nanomaterials: gold, PLGA, silica, and chitosan nanoparticles; as well as nanogels, carbon nanotubes, liposomes, and Virus-like particles.Nanovaccines and the History of Vaccinology.
