Historically vaccines were produced using whole attenuated or killed pathogens and still a large proportion of current vaccines utilized such procedure. However, the development of novel vaccines is preferentially based on the selection of specific components which alone are capable of eliciting protective immune responses. This is particularly true for cancer vaccines, which must include tumor-specific and tumor associated antigens. Therefore, the big challenge for vaccinologists is how to select the right antigens and to combine them with proper immune stimulatory components (adjuvants) in order to induce protective immunity. In this lecture strategies for the efficient identification of protective antigens against infectious diseases and cancer will be presented. Furthermore, since subunit-based vaccines against recalcitrant pathogens and cancer require more than one antigen and/or immune stimulator, this poses the problem of how to make such vaccines not only efficacious but also economically acceptable. To address this issue data will be presented showing how bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs) could become a promising platform for the development of future vaccines.
