Virosomes: Showing Broad Application Prospects in Vaccination and Drug Delivery System

Cancer treatment
Several virosome-based agents with high safety profiles have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in humans. Virosomes are ideal vehicles for delivering immunogenic substances in host bodies due to their reciprocally reinforcing functions when used as vaccines. Virosome vaccines had been used in several preclinical studies and clinical trials for cancer treatment. For example, cervical cancer is one of the cancers that has been successfully treated by immunotherapy of virosome-formulated vaccines.

Besides, virosomes can deliver drugs specifically to the target cancer cells by displaying appropriate molecules (such as antibodies or affibodies) on their surface. Even tumor-specific monoclonal antibody fragments (Fab) can be attached to virosomes to direct the carrier to selected tumor cells.
