Advax, a delta inulin-derived microparticle, has been developed as an adjuvant for several vaccines. However, its immunological characteristics and potential mechanism of action are yet to be elucidated. Here, we show that Advax behaves as a type-2 adjuvant when combined with influenza split vaccine, a T helper (Th)2-type antigen, but behaves as a type-1 adjuvant when combined with influenza inactivated whole virion (WV), a Th1-type antigen. In addition, an adjuvant effect was not observed when Advax-adjuvanted WV vaccine was used to immunize toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 knockout mice which are unable to respond to RNA contained in WV antigen. Similarly, no adjuvant effect was seen when Advax was combined with endotoxin-free ovalbumin, a neutral Th0-type antigen. An adjuvant effect was also not seen in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α knockout mice, and the adjuvant effect required the presences of dendritic cells (DCs) and phagocytic macrophages. Therefore, unlike other adjuvants, Advax potentiates the intrinsic or in-built adjuvant property of co-administered antigens. Hence, Advax is a unique class of adjuvant which can potentiate the intrinsic adjuvant feature of the vaccine antigens through a yet to be determined mechanism. Advax potentiates built-in adjuvant property of vaccine antigens. Advax does not change the T helper immune bias induced by the vaccine antigen. Dendritic cells, phagocytic macrophages, and tumor necrosis factor-α play a role in Advax adjuvant activity. Adjuvants are indispensable agent to maximize the efficacy of vaccines. Most adjuvants consistently impart either T helper (Th)1, Th2 or Th17 bias to the vaccine response regardless of the properties of antigen. For example alum adjuvants consistently impart a Th2 bias regardless of the vaccine antigen. Here we show that a delta inulin-derived microparticle adjuvant, Advax, is an additional class of adjuvant that functions as an amplifier of in-built adjuvant activity within the antigens themselves. Advax enhances different types of adaptive immune response dependent on the antigen's own in-built adjuvant properties, confirming Advax's utility as a general purpose vaccine adjuvant.
