Laboratory of Vaccine Adjuvant Research
This laboratory is a vaccine adjuvant analysis laboratory located in the Veterinary Building 2, Graduate institute of Animal Vaccine Technology, Pingtung University of Science and Technolog. It is an independent research space capable of bacterial, cell and virus culture, and has basic biotechnology analysis functions. The laboratory projects currently performs vaccine antigen and adjuvant production and analysis, vaccine preparation testing and animal test results analysis.
The laboratory recruits 1 undergraduate student, 3 masters and 1 doctoral student every year. Currently, there is 1 undergraduate student, 4 master students, and 3 doctoral students (from Vietnam, Pakistan, and Papua New Guinea).
The research focuses on the development of "vaccine adjuvants", which are applied to the research of new vaccines for economic animals, such as pigs and cattle. At present, the vaccine adjuvant research focus on the related adjuvants that promote mucosal immunity, adjuvants such as particular adjuvants (chitosan, sodium alginate , plant extracts, etc.), biological adjuvants (flagellin, enterotoxin LTB, plant extracts, etc.) and oil adjuvants (vitamin A, special oils, etc.). We analyzed the characteristics of adjuvants and immune-inducing ability, and then combined the adjuvants with various antigens such as inactivation, subunit, and DNA antigen, Various new vaccines are prepared and analyzed, and they are expected to be applied in the animal vaccine industry.
