Adjuvant activity Subject

Comparisons of antigen carrier systems have been the subject of many studies. The reported antigenic activity depends on the properties of the carrier systems such as their adjuvant effect and/or particle size, and viscosity. For a comparison to be valid, the systems being compared must show similar properties otherwise, the studies are misleading. Based on their properties, already it is evident that emulsion and liposome formulations offer more advantageous results. In our studies we found that multiple emulsions induce more antigenic activity than any cationic particle formulation with the classic subunit vaccine, and they enhance the immunization s efficacy (Bozkir et al, 2004).
