Description

Embodiments of the invention are directed to fibrillar adjuvants. For example, epitopes assembled by a synthetic peptide domain into nanofibers comprising a β-fibrillization peptide may elicit high antibody titers in the absence of any adjuvant. In certain embodiments, multiple different antigens may be integrated into polypeptide nanofibers, providing biomaterials with modular and precise composition of bioactive proteins.
