چکیده
A controlled field trial to determine the efficacy of a single dose of an aluminium phosphate-adsorbed cholera vaccine was conducted in Calcutta during 1975-77. An aluminium phosphate-adsorbed tetanus toxoid was used as the placebo. Follow-up of the immunized volunteers for a period of two years showed that the adsorbed cholera vaccine provided 100% protection to children under five years of age for 6 months, 88.9% for 12 months, and 91.7% for 18 months (P<0.05). The overall protection for all age groups was 58.5% for 18 months. There were no serious side effects following the anti-cholera inoculations.

Antigenicity testing of plain and aluminium hydroxide-adsorbed whole-cell cholera vaccines.
The antigenicity of a plain and of an aluminium hydroxide-adsorbed whole-cell cholera vaccine was investigated by the active mouse protection test and the vibriocidal antibody production assay in mice. In the active mouse protection test, between the antigenicity of the Inaba and Ogawa component of the two vaccines was no significant difference. The antibody production test, however, revealed t...

Background: Aluminum salts are common adjuvants in human and animal vaccine preparations. The two adjuvants aluminum phosphate and aluminum hydroxide show acceptable immunoadjuvant properties with many antigens. These two salts have different physicochemical characteristics that make each one suitable for certain antigens. The surface antigen of Hepatitis B (HBsAg) has several antigenic epitope...
