Using Bacillus anthracis protective antigen domain 4 (D4) as a model antigen, we demonstrated that both amorphous and crystalline forms of AH nps displayed enhanced antigen D4 uptake by THP1 cells as compared to commercial adjuvant aluminum hydroxide gel (AH gel). In a mouse model, both amorphous and crystalline AH nps triggered an enhanced D4-specific Th2- and Th1-type immune response and conferred superior protection against anthrax spore challenge as compared to AH gel. Physicochemical characterization of crystalline and amorphous AH nps revealed stronger antigen D4 binding and release than AH gel.Conclusion: These results demonstrate that size and crystallinity of AH nps play important roles in mediating enhanced antigen presenting cells (APCs) activation and potentiating a strong antigen-specific immune response, and are critical parameters for the rational design of alum-based Th1-type adjuvant to induce a more balanced antigen-specific immune response.Keywords: aluminum hydroxide gel, crystalline nanoparticles, NLRP3 inflammasome, Th1/Th2 immune response, amorphous nanoparticlesGogoi HMani RAggarwal SMalik AMunde MBhatnagar RDove Medical Pressarticlealuminium hydroxide gelcrystalline nanoparticles amorphous nanoparticlesnlrp3 inflammasometh1/th2 immune responsebacillus anthracis protective antigen domain 4Medicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 15, Pp 239-252 (2020)
