Adjuvanticity of Tannic Acid-Modified Nanoparticles Improves Effectiveness of the Antiviral Response by Janicka M, Chodkowski M, Osinska A, Bylinska K, Obuch-Woszczatyńska O, Patrycy M, Chodaczek G, Ranoszek-Soliwoda K, Tomaszewska E, Celichowski G, Grobelny J, Cymerys J, Krzyżowska M

“…HSV-1 also invades the nervous system where it establishes a lifelong latency-making infection poorly treatable We previously showed that both tannic acid-modified silver and gold nanoparticles (TA-Ag/AuNPs) inhibit HSV-1 infection in vitro.Methods: We used an in vitro and in vivo model of HSV-1 infection to study how metal type, size and tannic acid modification of nanoparticles can influence development of the early innate response and the mounting of specific anti-HSV-1 response upon treatment of the nasal mucosa.Results: We found that tannic acid is necessary for binding with HSV-1, with smaller sizes independent of the NPs composition, whereas for larger NPs, only TA-AgNPs can inhibit HSV-1 infection. …”
