This invention relates to adjuvant formulations comprising various combinations of triterpenoids, sterols, immunomodulators, polymers, and Th2 stimulators; methods for making the adjuvant compositions; and the use of the adjuvant formulations in immunogenic and vaccine compositions with different antigens. This invention further relates to the use of the formulations in the treatment of animals.

Compositions and methods comprising asymmetrical artificial antigen presenting cells (aAPCs) are disclosed. The non-spherical aAPCs more closely mimic endogenous cell-cell interactions and can be used for antigen-specific immunotherapy.

The present invention relates to an immune modulator having a novel structure, and an immunologic adjuvant composition containing the same and, more specifically, to an modulator, which is a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) analog having reduced toxicity, and a use thereof. The immune modulator of the present invention exhibits immune enhancement effects by having excellent innate immunity and ability to induce an adaptive immune response to a specific pathogen, and is very safe by having low toxicity. In addition, a vaccine containing the immune modulator of the present invention contains both an immune modulator and an alum, thereby improving immune enhancement effects compared with when using only the immune modulator.
