Vaccines for many years act as one of the most effective and successfully used medicines. Vaccines obtained by traditional methods contain in their composition live, weakened or killed microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, etc.). Now more often, modern, split, subunit, recombinant, polyvalent and some other types of vaccines are being used. The addition of adjuvants to vaccines generally increases the immune response to their administration. It was established that the formation of postvaccinal immunity begins immediately after the introduction of the vaccine, by activating the factors of innate immunity in the interaction of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), in vaccines, with the pathogen-recognition receptors (PRRs) of the immunocompetent cells of the recipient. It is also shown that PRRs activators, including TOLL-like receptor agonists (TLRs) and poly (I:C) polynucleotide oligomers of inosine and cytidylic acids, have the ability to substantially increase the immunogenicity of vaccines, and attempts are being made to use them creation of new types of adjuvants. Defective interfering viral particles (D-particles, DIPs) are also classed as effective stimulants of innate immunity and can also be considered promising vaccine adjuvants.
