An industry leader in human and veterinary vaccine adjuvants developed various immuostimulators and adjuvant systems which are used in various veterinary vaccines.
This Company is a UK based multinational company and is a global leader in high performance ingredients and technologies that are found in some of the most successful brands in the world across a wide range of markets. The Pharma Branch is a leading partner for the development of excipients and the supply of high purity materials for pharmaceutical formulations, we are committed to enabling the next generation of drug delivery systems. As a business, it is focused on empowering biologics drug delivery, through our vaccine adjuvant systems as well as small molecule-, protein-, and nucleic acid delivery platforms.Its comprehensive portfolio of components accelerates the production of complete vaccines including especially immuostimulators and adjuvant systems.
A versatile immunostimulatory saponin that’s widely used as a potent veterinary adjuvant, Quil-A can work against both intra- and extra-cellular pathogens, stimulating innate and Th-mediated adaptive immune responses. This natural extract is from the bark of the Quillaja Saponaria Molina tree. It is purified and contains a concentrated and heterogeneous mixture of over 100 saponin components. It has a strong affinity for cholesterol and can combine to form cage-like immunostimulating complexes (ISCOMs). They are known to stimulate strong cellular and humoral immune responses. Quil-A is used in various veterinary vaccines, for farm animals as well as companion animals, for example, cattle, pigs, sheep, poultry, cats, and dogs.
A powerful immunostimulatory saponin that acts as a potent vaccine adjuvant, QS21 can stimulate both cell-mediated (Th1) and humoral (Th2) immune responses. QS21 is derived from the soap-bark tree (Quillaja saponaria Molina) native to South America. It is a specific fraction of our Quil-A™ saponin mixture, selected for its rich source of triterpenoid saponins, potent immunogenicity, and low reactogenicity. The popularity of saponin-based adjuvants is a testament to their unique immunological profile. QS 21 is currently utilised in commercial vaccines against shingles and malaria. It is a key component in the ongoing development of various vaccine candidates, for conditions such as melanoma, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS. With amphiphilic properties, QS 21 can be formulated with lipids to dramatically reduce cell lysis. In turn, this allows for strong control of potential side effects in final formulations.
