Immune System Stimulation via Depot Effect, Cytokine Induction, and Adaptive Immunity Enhancement (Adjuvants)
- Target
- Adjuvants
- Molecular classification
- Other
01
Overview
This target refers to the mechanisms by which vaccine adjuvants enhance immune responses. Adjuvants are substances added to vaccines to improve their efficacy by stimulating the immune system through several pathways: creating a depot effect (prolonged antigen exposure), inducing cytokine production, and enhancing adaptive immunity.

02
Mechanism of action
Enhances magnitude/duration/type of vaccine-induced adaptive immunity through depot effect, cytokine induction, APC activation, and co-stimulatory molecule upregulation. Involves inflammasome/TLR/NOD pathway engagement, enhanced antigen presentation, recruitment/maturation/migration of APCs, and activation leading to improved naive T cell priming.
