Adjuvants can act in a number of diverse ways to help the
immune system respond
to a
vaccine. An understanding of these modes of action along with
some knowledge of the
epidemiology, pathogenesis and the required protective response
to the disease of relevance
can permit selection of an adjuvant or adjuvant combination which
will give maximum
benefit. This review will consider these modes of adjuvant action
and discuss issues of
formulation which are important to adjuvant function.
