Immunostimulation by a formula-defined diet.
A formula-defined diet (diet 3, table 1) acted as an adjuvant as an adjuvant in the response of the immune system to SRBC in the rat. Similar minimum and maximum antibody levels were measured in both males and females. In the males, the maximum was reached with diet 3 alone while females required the complementary action of diet 3 and LPS mR 595.
