Adjuvant Activity of Alum in Inducing Antigen Specific IgE Antibodies in BALB/c Mice: a Reevaluation

抄録

  The IgE production was compared in the presence and absence of aluminum hydroxide gel (alum). Without alum, the IgE production was induced within a suitable range of the antigen dosage; however, alum enhanced it. Alum did not affect the minimum requirement for the antigen dosage, indicating that alum may not take part in the efficiency of antigen presentation.
