A potential molecular mechanism for hypersensitivity caused by formalin-inactivated vaccines

Article Abstract:

Studies were conducted to highlight the importance of carbonyl groups in formaldehyde-treated vaccines and to explain the adverse effects of formaldehyde vaccines in measles and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections. The data from the studies show that the induction of carbonyl groups on vaccine antigens by formalin treatment might profoundly affect immunogenicity, changing the balance between protective and deleterious immune responses.
