Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to the use of the peptide, GHRP-6, and a structural analog thereof as molecular adjuvants for vaccines. Along with other applications, said vaccines can be used in the prevention of diseases caused by infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria and ectoparasites that affect mammals, birds and aquatic organisms. The peptides, GHRP-6, and the analog thereof, A233, are effective as adjuvants when combined with a particular antigen, given that they strengthen the immune response against same. La presente invencion se relaciona con el uso del peptido GHRP-6 y un análogo estructural de este como adyuvantes moleculares para vacunas; entre otras aplicaciones, dichas vacunas pueden emplearse en la prevencion de enfermedades causadas por agentes infecciosos, tales como virus, bacterias y ectoparasitos, que afectan a los mamiferos, las aves y a organismos acuaticos; los peptidos GHRP-6 y su analogo A233 son eficaces como adyuvantes cuando se combinan con un antigeno dado, ya que potencian la respuesta inmune especifica contra el mismo.
