Adjuvants

Adjuvants are substances that are added to vaccines and other biologics to increase their immune-stimulating effect. They are used to enhance the body's response to the antigen, ultimately resulting in a stronger and more efficient immune response. This helps to ensure therapeutic effectiveness and patient safety by reducing the amount of antigen needed to achieve an immune response. Adjuvants may also help to improve vaccine stability and reduce the need for boosters, as well as protect antigens from destruction by the body's own defense mechanisms. They have proven to be effective in many vaccines and biologics, including those used to prevent infectious diseases, cancer, and allergic reactions.
