Here it was shown 42,43 that aluminum hydroxide had an inhibiting effect, whereas aluminum phosphate adjuvant augmented the immune response against the antigen encoded by the DNA nucleotide. In 2002, a group at University of Lausanne, headed by J€ urg Tschopp, defined the inflammasome as "a molecular platform triggering activation of inflammatory caspases and processing of pro-IL-b." 85 This initiated a new line of research leading to a possible explanation for the mechanisms of action of aluminum adjuvants in the early phases of the immune response with the stimulation and excretion of proinflammatory cytokines.
