adjuvants

A vaccine strategy involving formulation changes, an initial escalating dose, and a longer wait for booster immunization results in more-effective antibody production against HIV in rhesus monkeys, a study finds.

The editor in chief of Vaccine has “temporarily removed” a study, published on the journal’s website in January, which suggested the aluminum adjuvant in an HPV vaccine caused behavioral changes in mice.

Armed with the right adjuvant system, vaccines are poised to tackle one of the world’s most intractable diseases. 

Researchers are looking to microbes to improve immune responses to a wide range of vaccines.
