AbstractNon-technical abstract: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are tiny materials made from cellulose; a natural substance easily found in plants. These CNCs have shown promise in various applications, including in medicine and drug development. CNCs are already used in pharmaceuticals, however their potential in other medical areas, such as supporters of the immune responses and serving as components in vaccines, has not been fully explored. Our research aims to investigate how CNCs can improve the immu
