With the rapid and efficient development of animal husbandry industry, intensive a nd large-scale has become the main body, and the corresponding use of vaccines and vaccine adjuvants has gradually increased. Polyacrylic acid has been widely used in vaccine adjuvants because of its safety and low toxicity. In this paper, polyacrylic acid was been prepared by aqueous solution polymerization, taking redox system as catalyst. The molecular structure of polymer was characterized by FT-IR. Viscosity average molecular weight was tested on a ubbelohde viscometer. Moreover, activation of polyacrylic acid on macrophages was analyzed by cell culture method. Results showed that the vaccine prepared by polyacrylic acid as adjuvant and chicken ovalbumin could stimulate macrophages to produce higher IL-1 β.
