Freund's complete adjuvant, 50 ML

This product is made by Freund's technique, in which of heat-killed Mycobacterium butyricum (0.1%) is suspended in a mixture of paraffin oil (85%) and Arlacel A (15%). Freund's Complete Adjuvant has been widely used as a potent adjuvant in immunization protocols and vaccine development. The Mycobacterium butyricum in Freund's Complete Adjuvant activates immune cells such as macrophages, dendritic cells, and lymphocytes, leading to the production of cytokines and chemokines that promote inflammation and antigen presentation. This activation of the immune system leads to the production of high levels of antibodies against the immunogen. The oil emulsion in Freund's Complete Adjuvant helps to retain the antigen at the injection site, providing a slow release of the antigen over an extended period, thus facilitating a prolonged and robust immune response. The oil emulsion also triggers the activation of complement and other effector molecules that enhance the clearance of the antigen and the recruitment of immune cells to the injection site. Freund's Complete Adjuvant is primarily used as an initial injection in immunization protocols, as subsequent injections with Freund's Complete Adjuvant are generally avoided due to the risk of inducing adverse reactions. To minimize side-effects, Freund’s Incomplete Adjuvant (SKU: 0855829 MP Biomedicals) is used for the boosts. Freund's Complete Adjuvant has been used to enhance the immune response to a wide range of antigens, including proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates.
