✦ Synopsis

Synthetic antigens are simple compounds, the chemistry of which is not only known but also to a large extent controlled at will. Another milestone of modern immunochemistry is the recent availability of synthetic water-soluble adjuvants. It is the belief of the authors that an approach combining the two synthetic types of compounds, whether by administering them together or by linking them covalently to each other, may lead to products that will not only lead to a better understanding of immunologic phenomena but may be also of significant pharmacologic value.
