AlumVax phosphate is a wet gel (colloidal) of aluminium phosphate 2%. Aluminium salts are the most common adjuvants used in approved prophylactic vaccines because of their excellent safety profile and ability to enhance the protective humoral immune response.

It has been observed that aluminium compounds act by a depot effect and also by direct activation of the immune cells. Adsorption or entrapment of antigens in aggregates through hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions favours a high local antigen concentration and improved uptake by antigen presentating cells (APC).

AlumVax phosphate is an amorphous aluminium hydroxyphosphate which is negatively charged at physiological pH (pI=5 to 7), suitable for adsorption of positively charged or neutral, alkaline proteins. It stimulates Th2 response through the release of Th2-associated cytokines (IL4, IL-5, IL-13) and Th2-associated antibodies (IgG1 and IgE). It increases Ag-specific CD4+ T Cell proliferation and promotes NALP3 inflammasome activation and caspase 1-mediated release of IL-1 and IL-18.
