3. Adjuvants are substances that slow, but do not stop, the release of an antigen from an injection site into the blood. Suppose injection A of a given amount of antigen is given without an adjuvant and injection B of the same amount of antigen is given with an adjuvant that caused the release of antigen over a period of 2 to 3 weeks. Does injection A or injection B result in the greater amount of antibody production? Explain.
