Abstract
A vaccination method utilizes a pharmaceutical combination for enhancing vaccine effectiveness. The method utilizes an immune response-triggering vaccine capable of stimulating production in an immunodeficient animal antibodies to a disease-causing agent foreign to the animal. As an adjuvant, a vaccine effectiveness-enhancing amount of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) is administered, which enhances production and affinity of the antibodies in the animal, in response to the vaccine.
