Comparative pharmacokinetic and biodistribution study of two distinct squalene-containing oil-in-water emulsion adjuvants in H5N1 influenza vaccines.

CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates a rapid decline of AS03 from the quadriceps muscles of mice as compared to conventional SQ/W emulsion adjuvant, with an increased transfer to mechanistically relevant tissues such as local lymph nodes. Systemic tissue exposure to potential toxicological target tissues was very low.
