acid, protein or polypeptide (e.g., whether containing purified
nucleic acid(s), protein(s) or polypeptide(s), a mixture of nucleic
acid(s), protein(s) or polypeptide(s) or displayed on the surface
of a cell, spore, virus or other delivery vehicle) or the mode of
its delivery (e.g., via injection, ingestion, inhalation or
ballistic device). For purposes of clarity, a therapeutic protein,
polypeptide or nucleic acid that creates an Antigen Specific
Response per se to such therapeutic protein,
polypeptide or nucleic acid (or protein or polypeptide encoded by
such nucleic acid) is not an Adjuvant for purposes of this
