Why is squalene added to vaccines?

0

Squalene is a component of some adjuvants that are added to vaccines to enhance the immune response. MF59, an adjuvant produced by Novartis and added to the FLUAD flu vaccine is an example. Squalene by itself is not an adjuvant, but emulsions of squalene with surfactants do enahance the immune response.
