Fig 1. Extract antigen from oil emulsion vaccine.

Fig 1

Antigens from oil emulsion vaccines were recovered from the aqueous phases after the rupture of the water-in-oil emulsions with n-butyl alcohol. Briefly, nine volumes of vaccine were thoroughly mixed with one volume of n-butyl alcohol and centrifuged for 5 min at 4°C, 5,000 g. The lower aqueous phases were collected carefully and used for subsequent antigen quantification. (A) Vaccine No. 1. (B) Vaccine No. 1 mixed with n-butyl alcohol and breaking of the emulsion complete. (D) Vaccine No. 2. (C) Vaccine No. 2 mixed with n-butyl alcohol and breaking of the emulsion complete. (E) Vaccine No. 3. (F) Vaccine No. 3 mixed with n-butyl alcohol and breaking of the emulsion incomplete, the intermediate layer was not clear and the volume of the aqueous layer was quite small. (G) Vaccine No. 3 mixed with n-butyl alcohol complete (by increasing the amount of n-butyl alcohol).
