Sterile inflammation induced by Carbopol elicits robust adaptive immune responses in the absence of pathogen-associated molecular patterns
•Carbopol induces Th1/IgG2a responses without PRR activation.•Carbopol polymer morphology is changed by APC phagocytosis leading to ROS induction.•This study highlights a potentially novel mechanism for in vivo cellular activation.
