General description

Adjuplex potentiates immune responses to vaccines without reactogenicity and has demonstrated superiority to alum, Freund′s adjuvant, Ribi-R730 and numerous other experimental adjuvants. In laboratory animals, Adjuplex has been shown to improve the protective immune response to a variety of experimental human vaccines including HIV, influenza, rotavirus and malaria.

Application

Adjuplex is suitable for use with all types of antigens such as whole organism (live or inactivated), protein, polysaccharide, DNA, virus vector, and VLP. It is suitable for all routes of administration including intramuscular, subcutaneous, intradermal, and mucosal including intranasal.
Adjuplex™ Vaccine Adjuvant has been used to study the effects of adjuvants for DNA vaccination.

Other Notes

Adjuplex Vaccine Adjuvant is a non-denaturing adjuvant that does not contain oils, detergents, preservatives, or components of animal or bacterial origin. Adjuplex is is non-immunogenic and free of allergens, enzymes, mercury, aluminum, and other metals.
