[The possibilities for enhancing the immunogenicity of adenovirus hexon]

Synthetic polyelectrolytes and muramyldipeptide derivatives are tested as immunostimulators. It is established that the level of antibody-forming cells and specific (virus-neutralizing and precipitating) antibodies considerably rises during the immunization of human adenovirus I hexon in the combination with N-acetylglucosaminyl-muramyldipeptide and conjugation with a copolymer including acrylic acid and N-vinylpyrrolidone. A more expressed intensification of the antibody-formation is observed with the use of polyelectrolytes.
