The function of an adjuvant in a vaccine is

  • A.distribution
  • B.absorption
  • C.antigenicity
  • D.metabolism

Answer: C

Correct answer: antigenicity

An adjuvant makes the antigen more immunogenic: it holds the antigen at the injection site so that it is released slowly, and it provokes a local inflammatory response that draws in and activates antigen-presenting cells. The result is a stronger and longer-lasting response to the same amount of antigen.
