Vaccine
Vaccine development services from the scientific expert
Vaccines are a diverse drug product category with one common goal: modulate the immune system in order to prevent infectious diseases, fight cancer or induce tolerance against allergens. They work by presenting highly specific antigens, combined with stimuli for the innate immune system (adjuvants) to the immune system in order to stimulate or inhibit (in the case of allergy vaccines) an immune response. In a best case, vaccines induce long-lasting effects without the need for frequent re-immunization.
Vaccines are especially successful in preventing or reducing the severity of infectious diseases including measles, polio, and Covid-19, and have successfully eradicated smallpox. In a more experimental setting cancer vaccination shows promise as a new tumor therapy.
Prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines
Prophylactic vaccines aim to prevent or reduce the severity of infectious diseases and – if a sterilizing immunity is achieved - inhibit further spreading. Since prophylactic vaccines are administered to healthy individuals, they are expected to fulfill very high quality and safety standards. Therapeutic vaccines aim to treat patients with existing diseases such as various types of cancer. This is an exciting field of research with the potential to address currently unmet medical needs. Also, therapeutic exposure to allergens is a form of vaccination with the aim to induce immune tolerance.

Specialized services for your vaccine product
Coriolis science-driven solutions are based on our deep understanding of the specific challenges of developing a vaccine. Our expert scientists will devise dedicated study designs tailored to the needs of your product and development phase.
Development of adjuvanted vaccines
Sub-unit vaccines often need an adjuvant to activate the innate immune system. Adjuvants are a heterogeneous group of molecules and particles (delivery systems) and their presence and interaction with antigens may hamper the characterization of the vaccine.
Our scientific experts are experienced in performing development studies for adjuvanted vaccines with a focus on the quantification of adjuvant-bound and free vaccine, the adsorption capacity, and the desorption profile.
We offer this service under R&D and up to Biosafety Level S2
Analytical methods for low concentration samples
The concentration of antigen in vaccine drug products is typically in the microgram range and low compared to most therapeutic protein-based biologics. Also, the presence of adjuvants in many sub-unit vaccines may hamper analytical characterization.
Coriolis is highly experienced in developing analytical methods for low concentrated vaccines and complex samples, such as adjuvanted vaccines. With our large portfolio of analytical techniques, we generate a comprehensive picture of your vaccine sample.
