Talk:Immunologic adjuvant

message: The article on adjuvant AS03 mentions that a possible association with narcolepsy has been observed in vaccinated populations in Europe. Worth mentioning? Jdrum00 (talk) 20:38, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Possible review ref 

message: I suggest that Adjuvant be merged into this page, as that page is almost entirely discussing immunological adjuvants and makes only a passing reference to pharmacological ones - which could be linked at the top of this page like adjuvant therapy is. Chalky 03:08, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge proposal 

message: Most of the material from Adjuvant is included now. Not sure about the following paragraphs; I'll put them here until I have time for a closer look:
Adjuvants may also be used to enhance the efficacy of a vaccine by helping to modify the immune response in particular types of immune system cells: for example, by activating T cells instead of antibody-secreting B cells depending on the purpose of the vaccine. Adjuvants are also used in the production of antibodies from immunized animals. There are different classes of adjuvants that can affect the immune response in different ways, but the most commonly used adjuvants include aluminium hydroxide and paraffin oil.
Immunologic adjuvants are added to vaccines to stimulate the immune system's response to the target antigen, but do not provide immunity themselves. Adjuvants can act in various ways in presenting an antigen to the immune system. Adjuvants can act as a depot for the antigen, presenting the antigen over a longer period of time, thus maximizing the immune response before the body clears the antigen. Examples of depot type adjuvants are oil emulsions. An adjuvant can also act as an irritant, which engages and amplifies the body's immune response. A tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (DPT) vaccine, for example, contains small quantities of inactivated toxins produced by each of the target bacteria, but also contains some aluminium hydroxide. Such aluminium salts are common adjuvants in vaccines sold in the United States and have been used in vaccines for more than 70 years.

thread_title:  Merging 

message: From Alzheimer's disease#Other hypotheses:
:The majority of researchers do not support a causal connection with aluminium.
:
From Immunologic_adjuvant#Humans:
:Aluminium salts used in many human vaccines are regarded as safe by Food and Drugs Administration, although there are multiple studies suggesting the role of aluminium, especially injected highly bioavailable antigen-aluminium complexes when used as adjuvant, in Alzheimer's disease development.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/49682395_Aluminum_and_Alzheimer's_Disease_After_a_Century_of_Controversy_Is_there_a_Plausible_Link
Shouldn't the statements be synchronized?
