Saponin Based Adjuvants

Quillaja saponin-based adjuvants including QS-21 are highly effective adjuvants for enhancing immune response to vaccine antigens and is a vital component enabling new vaccine candidates and advancing vaccine development.   However, saponins are currently supplied from non-sustainable sources creating potential supply chain risks and limiting their potential in new vaccine developments. We’re working to deliver a solution.

TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP

SPI Pharma, Inc. and Q-Vant Biosciences have agreed to come together to leverage Q-Vant’s leadership in unique, sustainable saponin extraction technology with SPI’s global reach in the pharmaceutical industry and SPI’s strict quality/GMP standards. We will work together to expand commercial-scale GMP manufacturing of high-purity saponins and enable global pharma customers access to sustainable, scalable, and fully-integrated supply of saponin adjuvants.
