Vaccine Testing and mRNA/RNA Therapies
Support your vaccine development with in vivo immunogenicity testing, biodistribution studies, and in vitro immunoassays
InnoSer’s Vaccine Testing Services and Study Types
As a preclinical contract research organization (CRO), InnoSer supports your vaccine development with in vivo immunogenicity testing, biodistribution studies, and in vitro immunoassays (cell-based assays, cytotoxicity). Different approaches can enhance the stability, safety, and efficiency of mRNA/RNA therapies.
InnoSer’s immunology experts offer customized study designs to determine vaccine safety and efficacy profiles. Optimization of delivery methods is crucial, as mRNA’s instability and negative charge require suitable carriers for in vivo delivery. Our team has a track record in supporting lipid nanoparticle and other delivery methods to improve mRNA vaccine safety and efficiency.
✓ Immunogenicity studies.
✓ Dose optimization studies.
✓ Local and systemic tolerance assessment.
✓ Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) studies.
✓ Biodistribution studies.
✓ Vaccine efficacy studies in disease models.
✓ Complementary in vitro immunoassays with cell lines or primary immune cell populations.

As a preclinical immunology CRO, InnoSer partners with you to navigate this complexity, focusing on innovative approaches, including LNPs for gene therapy. Nanoparticle-mediated delivery systems enhance mRNA vaccine stability, biocompatibility, and targeting, protecting mRNA molecules from degradation and improving delivery to target cells and tissues, including the brain.
With flexible, fast study start times, you can accelerate your research. Outsourcing your preclinical vaccine and mRNA therapy studies to InnoSer gives you access to our comprehensive in vitro and in vivo immunology drug development portfolio, enhancing the precision and effectiveness of your therapeutic candidates.
Vaccine Testing Sample Data

Results following immunogenicity and tolerability study comparing different mRNA-LNP vaccine formulations (A-D represent different test article formulations).
Cytokine levels induced by the various mRNA-LNP formulations were assessed from blood serum taken on day 3 (group D) and day 1 (group A-C) following vaccine administration and analysed via meso-scale discovery (MSD) assay. Data is shown as mean ± SEM.

Results following neutralizing antibody detection assay for SARS-CoV-2 using the cPass detection kit.
Mice were injected with test article or negative control. Figure shows neutralizing antibody concentrations to SARS-CoV-2.

AAALAC Accreditation
InnoSer has earned the AAALAC accreditation, demonstrating our commitment to responsible animal care and use. AAALAC International is a nonprofit organization that promotes the humane treatment of animals in science through voluntary accreditation and assessment programs. Our accreditation is valid for three years, incl. 2023. Read more about the AAALAC accreditation programme here.
Animal Welfare
The 3Rs impact everything from policy and regulatory change to the development and uptake of new technologies and approaches. This is why InnoSer has ongoing commitment and monitoring of these processes. The steps we practice maximize our ability to replace, reduce and refine animal involvement and facilitate our commitment to these principles when it comes to research and drug development.
