A substance that helps and enhances the effect of a drug, treatment, or biologic system.

An ingredient in a medicine that increases or modifies the activity of the other ingredients. Adjuvants are often included in vaccines to enhance the body’s immune response.

1 serving to help or assist; auxiliaryadjuvant chemotherapy

An additional treatment used to increase the effectiveness of the primary therapy; radiation therapy and hormonal therapy are often used as adjuvant treatments following a radical prostatectomy.

An ingredient added to a prescription or solution that increases or modifies the action of the principal ingredient. May be used in treatment of HIV or for HIV vaccines.

A substance that, when added to a pesticide, reduces the surface tension between two unlike materials (e.g., spray droplets and a plant surface), thus improving adherence. Also called surfactant. Check out the adjuvant, Dutch Master Penetrator.

stiumulator (pop)

An agent that is added to vaccines. It stimulates the immune system and increases the response to the vaccine.

An adjuvant is a substance (pharmacological and/or immunological) that modifies the effect of other substances or medicines. Immunological adjuvants may be added to vaccines to boost the immune respon [..]

aiding the action of a medicinal agent

Assisting or aiding. Used to describe additional treatments administered in addition to a definitive therapy. For EBRT this usually refers to androgen deprivation given after ERBT is finished.

An additive used in pesticide spray formulations which enhances adherence to plants. Adjuvant

A substance added to a drug or vaccine to enhance its effectiveness. Also, an additional drug or other intervention that is used to bolster an initial treatment.

Treatment given in addition to other treatment, for example chemotherapy or radiotherapy given as well as surgery.

A pharmacological agent (e.g., aluminum salt, oil-in-water emulsions) that modifies the effect of other agents, such as a drug or vaccine, while having few if any direct effects when given by itself. [..]

A preparation which may be added to a vaccine to improve the immune response to the vaccine.

An agent added to some vaccines that enhances the immune system’s response to vaccine antigens. Adjuvants used in vaccines include aluminum salts and, in Canada and the European Union, squalene, which [..]

 In vaccines, a substance that is added to increase the immune response

Adjuvants are agents commonly added to a vaccine formulation which do not stimulate an immunologic response alone but can help to increase the immune response to other components of a vaccine or stimu [..]

A substance that is used in a vaccine to improve the immune response so that less vaccine is needed to produce a non-specific stimulator of the immune response.

a substance sometimes included in a vaccine formulation to enhance or modify the immune-stimulating properties of a vaccine.

a substance sometimes included in a vaccine formulation to enhance or modify the immune-stimulating properties of a vaccine.

Adjuvant is a compound used to increase antigenicity and to prolong the stimulatory effect of vaccines particularly of those containing inactivated microorganisms or their products (eg diphtheri and tetanus toxoids).

a pharmacological agent that is added to a vaccine to enhance the immune response of the vaccine recipient.

A substance that is used in a vaccine to improve the immune response so that less vaccine is needed to produce a non-specific stimulator of the immune response.[2]

A substance (e.g. aluminum salt) that is added during production to increase the body's immune response to a vaccine. [7]

A substance that may be included in a vaccine to improve the body’s ability to fight disease or infection.

An inactive substance incorporated in modern vaccines which stimulates recognition of the active components to give an improved immune response. Back to top

A drug or other substance that enhances the activity of another.

A substance (e.g. aluminum salt) that is added during production to increase the body's immune response to a vaccine.

substance that enhances the effectiveness of another substance, e.g., aluminum hydroxide in vaccines

Agents that increase the stimulation of the immune system by enhancing antigen presentation (depot formulation, delivery systems) and/or by providing costimulation signals (immunomodulators).

A substance (e.g. aluminum salt) that is added during production to increase the body's immune response to a vaccine.

Any substance in a formulation which enhances the effectiveness of the product

A chemical added to a pesticide formulation or tank mix to improve mixing, application or activity of a herbicide. Spray adjuvant examples include fertilizers, surfactants, methylated seed oils and crop oil concentrates.

A substance that enhances the immune response to the antigen with which is it mixed.

An ingredient that improves the properties of a formulation to which it has been added.

Additional cancer treatment given after the primary treatment to lower the risk that the cancer will come back. Adjuvant therapy may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, or biological therapy.

A substance that enhances or diversifies the immune response; a drug that modulates the actions of other drugs.
