The choice of adjuvant or immune enhancer determines whether the immune response is effective, ineffective, or damaging. Accordingly, there is a need for new adjuvants that stimulate the appropriate immunity, for example, T cell immunity for intracellular pathogens and cancer vaccines."

"In several adjuvants, the identification of chemical groups that interact with specific cell toll-like receptors (innate immunity) or receptors for costimulatory ligands (adaptive immunity), has enabled the establishment of structure-function relationships that are useful in the design of new adjuvants," stated Dante J.
