Abstract excerpt
The assessment of Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists as candidate adjuvants for induction of effective T helper type 1 (Th1) immunity continues to rely on the use of mice. However, the genetic variation among inbred mice may influence the efficacy of adjuvants and bias a study's conclusions. Here, we evaluated the differences in cellular and humoral responses of genetically non-identical mouse strains immunized...
