General description

The effectiveness of an oil emulsion vaccine greatly depends on the form and stability of the emulsion. TiterMax Classic is a water-in-oil formulation with up to 90% water and a powerful adjuvant used in many protocols. TiterMax Classic Adjuvant contains three essential ingredients: a block copolymer, CRL89-41, squalene (a metabolizable oil) and a unique microparticulate stabilizer. The emulsion is less viscous and suitable for injection through small needles.

Application

TiterMax® Classic Adjuvant has been used to boost the production of antigen-specific polyclonal IgG in rabbits.
For mice, four doses of 10 microl each into subcutaneous or muscular sites is recommended. TiterMax® was used in mice followed by isolation of CD4 T cells for epitope mapping and to test vaccines against Neisseria species.

Biochem/physiol Actions

TiterMax Classic has been especially formulated with squalene to produce stable water-in-oil emulsions with up to 90% water. It is considerably easier to emulsify TiterMax Classic than Freund′s adjuvant. The resulting emulsion is less viscous, making it easier to inject through small needles.
