Abstract：
:We evaluated an adjuvant, TiterMax, as an alternative to complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) for producing antisera in animals. TiterMax, consists of a microparticulate stabilized water-in-oil emulsion of a metabolizable oil, squalene, with the adjuvant block copolymer CRL89-41. This paper reports two evaluations of TiterMax versus CFA and other commercially available adjuvants. In the first study, mice were immunized with a hapten, trinitrophenol, conjugated to hen egg albumin (TNP-HEA) in one of several adjuvants: TiterMax, CFA, Adjuvax, Ribi adjuvant system (RAS), Alhydrogel or Lipovant. TiterMax induced higher longer lasting titers with fewer injections than any of the other adjuvants. The magnitude of the response to TNP varied with species and route of immunization. In the second study, CFA, TiterMax, Adjuvax and RAS were compared in rabbits, mice and goats. Animals were immunized with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) conjugated to BSA in each adjuvant using comparable protocols. TiterMax induced titers against the peptide equivalent to CFA in all three species. The inflammatory responses induced by TiterMax were mild and transient compared with those induced by CFA. These data suggest that TiterMax is an effective alternative to CFA in many situations.
