: The development of a five-in-one vaccine microneedle patch (five-in-one MN patch) aims to address challenges in administering vaccines against Diphtheria (DT), Tetanus (TT), Pertussis (wP), Hepatitis B (HBsAg), and type b (Hib). Combining multiple vaccines into a single patch offers a novel solution to improve vaccine accessibility, stability, and delivery efficiency, particularly in resource-limited settings. : The five-in-one MN patch consists of four distinct microneedle arrays: DT and TT vaccines are coated together on one array, while wP, HepB, and Hib vaccines are coated separately on individual arrays. The patch was tested for long-term stability (12 months at 25 °C) and evaluated for immunogenicity in mice and minipigs. Antibody titers were measured using ELISA to compare immune responses between microneedle-based delivery and traditional intramuscular (IM) injection. : The five-in-one MN patch demonstrated stable antigenicity for up to 12 months at room temperature. In animal studies, the patch induced antibody titers comparable to traditional IM injections for all vaccines. Notably, immunogenic responses to Pertussis and type b vaccines via microneedles were reported for the first time. The patch facilitated the simultaneous yet independent delivery of vaccines, preserving their immunogenicity without interference. : The five-in-one MN patch represents a significant advancement in vaccine delivery by enabling stable, minimally invasive, and efficient immunization. Its innovative design addresses the critical limitations of combination vaccines and has the potential to enhance vaccine accessibility in low- and middle-income countries. Future studies will focus on optimizing patch application techniques and evaluating broader clinical applicability.
五合一疫苗微针贴片(五合一MN贴片)的研发旨在应对白喉(DT)、破伤风(TT)、百日咳(wP)、乙型肝炎(HBsAg)和b型流感嗜血杆菌(Hib)疫苗接种方面的挑战。将多种疫苗整合到单个贴片中提供了一种新颖的解决方案,以提高疫苗的可及性、稳定性和递送效率,特别是在资源有限的环境中。五合一MN贴片由四个不同的微针阵列组成:DT和TT疫苗共同包被在一个阵列上,而wP、乙肝疫苗和Hib疫苗分别包被在单独的阵列上。对该贴片进行了长期稳定性测试(在25℃下保存12个月),并在小鼠和小型猪中评估了其免疫原性。使用酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)测量抗体滴度,以比较基于微针递送和传统肌肉注射(IM)之间的免疫反应。五合一MN贴片在室温下显示出长达12个月的稳定抗原性。在动物研究中,该贴片对所有疫苗诱导的抗体滴度与传统IM注射相当。值得注意的是,首次报道了通过微针接种百日咳和b型疫苗的免疫反应。该贴片促进了疫苗的同时但独立递送,保持了它们的免疫原性而无干扰。五合一MN贴片通过实现稳定、微创和高效的免疫接种,代表了疫苗递送方面的重大进展。其创新设计解决了联合疫苗的关键局限性,并有潜力提高低收入和中等收入国家的疫苗可及性。未来的研究将集中在优化贴片应用技术和评估更广泛的临床适用性上。
