“…The algorithm of ELISA is based on the inhibition of the activity of certain enzymes (namely peroxidase and glucose oxidase) due to the interaction of the DPG-enzyme complex with antibodies. The use of cardiolipin Ag in the detection of antilipid antibodies by ELISA was proposed [ 35 ].…”

Background and Purpose: The development of vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus has become a big challenge for many countries in 2020-2022. mRNA vaccines were shown to be effective and safe and have been widely used worldwide in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The fundamental factor in creating mRNA vaccines, which ensures effective delivery of mRNA to the host cells, is the composition of lipid nanoparticles, namely the presence of ionized charged lipids, which ensures the binding of mRNA molecules. However, the significant role of liposomes in the development of liposomal vaccines and identification of immunochemical reactions involving lipids should be assessed in the context of the development of the pioneering idea of August Wassermann about the use of liposomal antigens in the diagnosis and immunoprophylaxis of serious human diseases. Experimental Approach: The review is devoted to the use of liposomal antigens as antigen-delivery systems for diagnosis and immunoprophylaxis. Key Results: Studies of cardiolipin antigen in serodiagnosis of syphilis became the foundation of antibodies in diagnosing various infectious diseases and pathological conditions, such as tuberculosis, lupus erythematosus, COVID-19, borreliosis, etc. Identification of antiphospholipid antibodies (mainly anticardiolipin) and today is the most important diagnostic tool for antiphospholipid syndrome. Conclusion: The liposomal system first proposed in 1906 for the diagnosis of syphilis evolved more than a century later into mRNA vaccines, which are used today in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
