October 26, 2017 – Adjuvants and the vaccine response to the DS-Cav1-stabilized fusion glycoprotein of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (full text) “The most common adjuvant, alum, comprised of aluminum salts, has been used in humans since 1932, is the only FDA approved adjuvant for human use. To assess the impact of different adjuvants, here we formulated RSV F DS-Cav1 with multiple adjuvants and assessed immune response. TLR4 agonist, MPLA, combined with Alum is used for the EU hepatitis B vaccine, Fendrix,and the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine,
'December 12, 2014 – Anti-Cancer Vaccines — A One-Hit Wonder? (full text) “In terms of drawbacks to the vaccines themselves, there have been side effects reported after vaccine administration. One of the biggest fears is the lack of selectivity of TAAs that can potentially lead to autoimmunity occurring in the patient. For example, cases of vitiligo (a condition that results in blotches of pigmentation loss in the skin) have been reported in patients receiving a melanoma vaccine.” ... ”Examples of anti-cancer vaccine adjuvants currently approved for use in clinical practice include aluminum salts (alum), monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) in an oil-in-water emulsion (known as MF59), and a combination of MPL and alum known as AS04. Alum and oil-in-water emulsions both act as a vehicle, delivering and controlling the release of the vaccine antigen to the host immune system. They can also directly stimulate the innate immune system through an inflammatory response, which, in turn, facilitates and amplifies a cell-mediated or humoral immune response. MPL is derived from lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a pattern-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) recognized by a pattern recognition receptor (PRR), Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) [49]. AS04 is licensed for use as an adjuvant in Fendrix (a HBV vaccine) and Cervarix (a HPV vaccine).

July 1, 2009 – Dangers of HPV Vaccine Production in Plants, Microbes, and Viruses The Cervarix vaccine available commercially is produced by GlaxoSmithKline using a baculovirus vector propagated in an insect cell line. Baculoviruses are soil inhabiting viruses that infect insects. Baculovirus expression vectors propagated in insect cells were originally hampered by the appearance of many interfering baculoviruses with chromosomal deletions, which arise as an intrinsic property of the native baculovirus. The intrinsic deletions in the viral chromosome may provide a source of diversity as the virus faces environmental challenges. Such instability is undesirable in producing vaccines. Some progress has been achieved in making more stable baculovirus expression vector lines. Nevertheless, regulators and the vaccine producer have not made public comment about the genetic stability of the baculovirus lines producing Cervarix vaccine, nor the fact that baculovirus is capable of infecting mammalian cells and tissues. If the GM baculovirus infects mammalian cells and tissues in vivo, they would also transfer transgenes to those infected cells as gene therapy experiments have demonstrated since 2001. Baculovirus can also serve as a gene delivery vector for stem cell and bone tissue engineering.
August 15, 2007 - Effect of Human Papillomavirus 16/18 L1 Viruslike Particle Vaccine Among Young Women With Preexisting Infection (full text) "There was no evidence that HPV vaccination significantly altered rates of viral clearance; VEVC estimates overall ranged from −0.2% to 2.5% at the 6-month visit and from −3.7% to −2.0% at the 12-month visit. For HPV-16/18 infections, the VEVC estimates were 2.5% (95% CI, −9.8% to 13.5%) at the 6-month visit and −2.0% (95% CI, −24.3% to 16.3%) at the 12-month visit. No significant evidence of a vaccine therapeutic effect was observed in analyses restricted to women who received all doses of vaccine or those with evidence of single HPV infections at entry (Table 2).
