adjuvants
Vaccine efficacy amplifiers
Adjuvants are substances that enhance the effect of something else.
In medicine, an adjuvant boosts the immune response to a vaccine or accompanies a primary treatment: adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery.
In agriculture, adjuvants improve how pesticides spread or stick to surfaces.
The term comes from a Latin word meaning to help.
