Tracing aluminium adjuvants in viable cells

Tracing aluminium adjuvants in viable cellsTo improve the effect of a vaccine, adjuvants are often included in the vaccine formulation.An adjuvant is a molecule that potentiates the immune response induced by the vaccine, and commonly used adjuvants in vaccine formulations are aluminium salts as aluminiumoxy-hydroxide and aluminiumhydroxyphosphate.
