Complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)

Description

Complete Freunds adjuvant CFA is an immunoadjuvant emulsified with antigen by its discoverer Jules T. Freund to enhance an animals immune response to an antigen. Complete Freunds adjuvant CFA is also an inducer of the Th1 immune response and a ligand of TLRs. Complete Freunds adjuvant CFA contains heat-killed inactive tuberculosis bacilli and consists of a paraffin oil-in-water emulsion. Complete Freunds adjuvant CFA stimulates a strong and durable immune response and can be used to induce persistent inflammatory pain models in mice, experimental autoimmune myocarditis EAM models, and more. Incomplete Freunds adjuvant IFA HY-153808A is another type of Freunds Adjuvant that stimulates a weaker immune response.
