Dextran in animal health applications

In vaccines for animals, dextrans can be used as adjuvants to help stimulate the immune system and improve the vaccine’s effectiveness. When used in vaccine delivery systems, dextrans can be modified or conjugated with antigens to enhance their stability, immunogenicity, and targeted delivery. Dextrans can also act as carriers to deliver antigens to specific cells or tissues, enhancing the immune response and vaccine efficacy.


The use of dextrans may vary depending on the vaccine formulation, target species, and desired immune response. The selection and optimisation of vaccine components, including dextrans, requires extensive research and testing to ensure safety and efficacy.
