Bisphosphonates as novel adjuvants to enhance the adaptive immune response, validated with common types of vaccine antigens and commercial vaccines
Despite decades of adjuvant research, only a handful of adjuvants have been approved in seven major global markets and only two (Alum and GSK’s AS04) are licensed in the US. The availability of additional adjuvants has been minimized due to…
