Anti-nicotine vaccine optimized for antigen & adjuvant tested in non-human primates
Vaccine comprised nicotine conjugated to CRM197 (NIC7-CRM) with alum ± CpG.
NIC7-CRM/alum was better than a NicQb mimetic (with alum) for Ab titer and function.
Addition of CpG to NIC7-CRM significantly enhanced Ab titer, avidity and function.
