title: Effects of oil adjuvant on systemic response to Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide in swine.
abstract: Intramuscular injection of 0.1 mg/kg of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mixed with Freund's complete adjuvant (LPS+FCA) in piglets mitigated the leukopenia and TNF-alpha and cortisol levels in the serum compared with that of LPS suspended in LPS-free saline. The endotoxin level in the serum of the LPS+FCA was remarkably reduced. These results suggest that the addition of oil adjuvant mitigate the systemic toxicity of LPS.
