aluminum phosphate/potato

The degree of antigen adsorption by aluminum-containing adjuvants is considered an important characteristic of vaccines that is related to immunopotentiation by the adjuvant. This study examined immunopotentiation by aluminum phosphate adjuvant in three model vaccines in which the antigen was not

The phosphate content of commercial ovalbumin was increased from 1.8 to 3.2 mol PO(4)/mol ovalbumin by conjugation of phosphoserine and reduced to 1.2 or 0.14 mol PO(4)/mol ovalbumin by treatment with potato acid phosphatase. The four ovalbumin samples were completely adsorbed by aluminum hydroxide
