Vaccination is the method of choice for the prevention of influenza infection. However, the quantity of the antigen available, especially in the case of pandemics, often fails to meet the global demand. However, improved adjuvants can overcome this problem. Preliminary results obtained in this study revealed that one year after a single subcutaneous immunisation with influenza A H3N2 virus in a...

Abstract Tolpyralate is a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase–inhibiting herbicide that applied postemergence for control of annual broadleaf and grass weeds in corn. Current Canadian label recommendations tolpyralate specify the addition methylated seed oil (MSO) adjuvant (MSO Concentrate®) improved weed control. The efficacy with other proprietary adjuvants has not been widely reported peer-r...

We investigated the effect of dietary supplementation with n-3 PUFA (fish oil source) in an experimental model of food allergy. Mice were sensitized (allergic group) or not (nonallergic group) with OVA and were fed with OVA diet to induce allergy signals. Mice were fed with regular diet in which 7% of lipid content was provided by soybean (5% of n-3 PUFA) or fish (25% of n-3 PUFA) oil. Allergic...

The antibody response to various combined polyvalent Pasteurella haemolytica vaccines was studied in sheep and cattle. In sheep, certain oil adjuvant vaccines gave rise to a better antibody response to P. haemolytica than an A1(OH)3-adsorbed vaccine. This finding, however, was not consistent for all serotypes, and with respect to P. multocida, oil adjuvants had no advantage. Furthermore, it was...

The immunologie efficacy of inactivated oil-emulsion vaccines against Newcastle disease (ND) and avian influenza (AI) by use of embryo vaccination technology was evaluated. The vaccine antigens were prepared from LaSota strain of ND and H9N2 strain of AI viruses. These antigens were emulsified with an oil adjuvant. 18-day-old embryonated eggs from Aryan broiler breeder were divided into three g...

Intramammary infections in cattle resulting in mastitis have detrimental effects on cows' well-being, lifespan and milk production. In the host defense against S. aureus mastitis antibodies are thought to play an important role. To explore potential ways to increase antibody titers in the bovine mammary gland the effects of various adjuvants on the magnitude, isotype, and neutralizing capacity ...

experiments wee performed to evaluate the contralateral effect of adjuvant induced mono arthritis. in these experiments laser doppler imaging (ldi) was used to investigate changes in blood flow. adjuvant was applied to induce chronic inflammation. temperature and knee diameter increased in the first week after administration in the administrated knee joint.substance p (sp) (a neruokinin with a ...

In this study, the immunogenicity of three types of antigens (hydatid fluid, protoscolices and whole body of E. granulosus) was investigated in lambs by ELISA. Sixteen 4–6-month-old lambs of mixed sexes were divided into 4 groups of 4 lambs (three immunized and one control group). Twelve lambs as immunized groups received 2 mg of hydatid fluid, protoscolices and whole body of E. granulosus ant...

Agronomic biofortification of crops is a promising approach that can improve the nutritional value staple foods by alleviating dietary micronutrient deficiencies. Iodine deficiency prevalent in many countries, including Australia, but it not clear what foliar application strategies will be effective for iodine fortification grain. This study hypothesised combining adjuvants with sprays would pe...

Vaccine adjuvants have been reported to induce both mucosal and systemic immunity when applied to mucosal surfaces and this dual response appears important for protection against certain pathogens. Despite the potential advantages, however, no mucosal adjuvants are currently approved for human use. Evaluating compounds as mucosal adjuvants is a slow and costly process due to the need for length...
