Abstract
Adjuvants in modern vaccines boost and shape immune responses and allow for antigen dose-sparing. Analysis of protein antigens in the presence of adjuvants can prove challenging, especially if the adjuvant interferes with visualization of the protein band on an SDS-PAGE gel. In this chapter, a variety of different techniques are presented to mitigate the interference of a nanoemulsion adjuvant, GLA-SE, with different recombinant proteins of varying molecular weight by addressing sample preparation and staining methods.Entities:
