Abstract
Vaccination to protect animal against infectious diseases may be enhanced by using adjuvant that can selectively stimulate immunoregulatory responses. A novel adjuvant composed of calcium phosphate (CAP) was compared with the commonly used aluminum hydroxide gel adjuvant for its ability to induce immunity to Rift Valley Fever virus. Results indicated that CAP was more potent as an adjuvant than alum, induced high titers of antibody. Furthermore, it is economical, simple to manufacture and it is a natural constituent of the animal body.
