Using Ribi Adjuvant

(Protocol summary only for purposes of this preview site)

Ribi adjuvants are oil-in-water emulsions composed of a metabolizable oil (squalene) that is emulsified with saline containing Tween 80. Like Freund's adjuvant, Ribi also comes in two forms. One form contains mycobacterial products plus bacterial monophosphoryl lipid A, whereas the second form lacks the mycobacterial products. Ribi induces cytokine production by immune cells, leading to antigen uptake and presentation.
