Currently licensed vaccines require a cold-chain to maintain efficacy. This cold-chain requirement reduces the availability of vaccines in resource-poor areas of the world. Commercially available human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines protect against the most common HPV types related to cervical cancer; however, their impact is limited in many regions due to cold-chain requirements. The goal of this study was to test the thermostability of an adjuvanted, trivalent HPV L1 capsomere-based vaccine (containing HPV types 16, 18, and 31) that was formulated by using lyophilization to embed the antigens within a solid, glassy matrix. Thermal stabilities were determined by storing the vaccine formulations for 3 months at 50 °C, followed by immunization of BALB/c mice and measurement of antibody responses. Antibody responses to capsomere vaccines formulated with alum were unchanged after storage for 3 months at 50 °C. Neutralizing responses to these vaccines were unchanged by high-temperature storage, and were equivalent to those generated after administration of the commercially available liquid HPV vaccine Gardasil®9.
