SHINGRIX (Zoster Vaccine REcombinant, Adjuvanted)
The Shingrix vaccine is a subunit vaccine that contains the recombinant varicella zoster virus (VZV) glycoprotein E (gE), adjuvanted with the proprietary Adjuvant System (AS01B). The AS01B Adjuvant system consists of two immune-stimulants, the saponin, Quillaja saponaria Molina, fraction 21 (QS21), and the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) agonist, MPL (3-O-desacyl-40-MPL) that enhance the release of interferon gamma (IFNϒ), which in turn stimulates activation and recruitment of blood monocyte-derived and resident lymph node dendritic cells to take up and present gE to cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4+) T cells.
