  • adjuvant: A substance that is not antigenic but,when mixed with an antigen,enhances antibody production.Adjuvants are used therapeutically since they help to produce antibody against small amounts of antigen and to prolong the period of antibody production.Adjuvants work by inducing an inflammatory response that leads to a local influx of antibody-forming cells.

  • alluvial-slope: a spring which occurs on the lower slope of an alluvial cone at the point where the water table slope and the surface gradient are equal.This point is often located at the point of gradation from pervious sand with a flat water table slope to less pervious alluvial material which calls for a steep slope to carry the water supplied from above
