of antigen can be quite critical.Too much or too little antigen might not elicit an immune response Adjuvants The response to antigens can be increased by use of adjuvants.Ajuvants contribute to greater and prolonged antibody production and increased effector cell counts. Ajuvants can react in several ways: 1.Alter the distribution and persistence of antigen within the host. 2.Stimulate lymphocytes production non specifically. 3.Activate mac opha 4.Alter traffic of circulating lymphocytes. Freund adjuvant consist of oil and Mycobaterium tuberculosis.This adjuvant can not be use in humans. Routes of injection 1 Into the muscle (intramuscular IM) 2.Under the skin (subcutaneous) 3.Into a vein (intravenous IV) 4.Into the abdominal cavity (intrapeitoneal IP) 5.Into the skin (intradermal,Usually multiple injections) Antigen presentation and epitope recognition.
