Abstract

Adjuvants are added to vaccinations to boost their immunogenicity. We reviewed what we know about how butyrate affects immunity and adjuvant action. The usefulness of Aloe vera, aloe vera gel polysaccharide (acemannan), and butyrate fermented adjuvants in increasing Covid-19 immunization efficacy was thoroughly investigated. Butyrate, a known histone deacetylase inhibitor that stimulates expression of numerous genes involved in immune system pathways, was studied extensively for its adjuvanticity and effects on virus infection.
