Hence, defining the influence of genetic di...
متن کاملAdjuvants of Immunity: Harnessing Innate Immunity to Promote Adaptive Immunity
Since Jules Freund reported that crude mycobacterial extracts greatly promoted immune responses to antigens (1), the use of adjuvants has become a widespread, but poorly understood practice to promote T and B cell responses (2). Recent studies have begun to identify the chemical nature of several adjuvants and the cellular and molecular mechanisms of their long-elusive immunologi-cal effects. F...
