Example sentence(s):
  • Adjuvant - a substance which is mixed with an antigen to enhance the resulting immune response. An adjuvant is not antigenic by itself.
  • Adjuvant: In immunology, this is a substance injected with antigens (usually mixed with them but sometimes given before or after the antigens) which non-specifically enhances or modifies the immune response to the antigens.
