Vaccine adjuvants: preparation methods and research protocols edited by Derek O'Hagan, humana press

The ‘new generation’ of vaccines rely on recombinant proteins, synthetic peptides and DNA to prevent infectious diseases, cancer, fertility, allergies and autoimmune diseases. However, they are often poorly immunogenic on their own and are increasingly dependent on adjuvants for enhanced humoral and cellular immunogenicity. Vaccine Adjuvants: Preparation Methods and Research Protocols is a textbook designed to help vaccine researchers to select and prepare optimal formulations of vaccine antigens and adjuvants.
