Descriptor adyuvante de Freund
Scope note: Solución antigénica emulsificada en aceite mineral. La forma completa está constituida por micobacterias muertas desecadas (por lo general M. tuberculosis) suspendidas en la fase oleosa. Es efectiva en la estimulación de la inmunidad mediada por células (INMUNIDAD CELULAR) y potencia la producción de ciertas INMUNOGLOBULINAS en algunos animales. La forma incompleta no contiene micobacterias.
