Adjuvants
Overview:
Adjuvants are materials used to stimulate and enhance the immune response to an immunogen. By mixing the immunogen with the adjuvant to form a stable emulsion, a sustained presentation of the antigen is achieved. This depot effect results in improved immune response and higher serum antibody levels.
Freund’s Adjuvants are used to form stable water-in-oil emulsions that continuously present the antigen to the immune system, resulting in high and long-lasting antibody response. AdjuLite® Complete Freund’s Adjuvant is used for the first immunization in a production protocol. AdjuLite® Incomplete Freund’s Adjuvant is used for all subsequent immunizations.
The AdjuLite® Advantage:
- Fluid emulsion, injects and spreads easily
- Superior presentation of the immunogen
- Conserves valuable antigens, lower doses required
- Single site injection, less pain and stress for the animal
- Unsurpassed stability of the emulsion enhances the immune response
- High purity components virtually eliminate injection site abscesses and irritation
A premium adjuvant developed over the course of our facility's 35-year history, AdjuLite® adjuvants have played a key role in the success of Pacific Immunology's own antibody production projects. AdjuLite® Freund’s Adjuvants are prepared from highly refined, ultra-light mineral oils that form a stable but fluid emulsion. This fluid emulsion is injected subcutaneously and spreads out under the skin, providing superior presentation of the immunogen to the immune system and virtually eliminating abscesses and irritation for the animal. By permitting the use of smaller antigen doses and single site injections, AdjuLite® has significantly reduced the stress of immunization on animals. By offering a time-released presentation of the antigen, AdjuLite® enhances the immune response, thereby maximizing the affinity and titer of the anti-serum.
