Adjuvants for enhancing the immune response to an antigen are provided comprising the adjuvant incorporated into a lipid layer where the adjuvant is covalently or non-covalently involved in a polymeric system. Conveniently, the adjuvant may be conjugated to a polymerizable group and co-polymerized with a water-soluble and/or amphiphilic polymerizable monomer or combined with a polymerized amphiphile. The adjuvant and antigen may then be administered to a mammalian host to obtain enhanced immune response.
所提供的用于增强对抗原的免疫反应的佐剂包括掺入脂质层的佐剂,其中佐剂以共价或非共价方式参与聚合物体系。方便地说,佐剂可与可聚合基团共轭,并与
水溶性和/或两亲性可聚合单体共聚合,或与聚合的两性化合物结合。然后可将佐剂和抗原施用于哺乳动物宿主,以获得增强的免疫反应。
