The search for new substances with inmunological adjuvant activity constitutes one of the most important trends in today's inmunological research work. The present paper analyzes the fundamental criteria that determine the selection of an adjuvant for research purposes in the veterinary health field and in human vaccine formulation, with a view to increasing effectiveness of inmune response. The main difficulties mentioned in literature and related to the comparison of the effectiveness of various adjuvants are briefly analyzed, and also the wide possibilities of natural products especially polysaccharides of various sources in the selection of substances with inmunostimulating qualities.
