title: [Major trends in lipid immunochemistry].
abstract: Data are presented on immunochemical properties of lipids, the most important group of biologically active substances. Problems on antigenic, immunogenic and adjuvant activities of lipids are considered. A possible use of lipid antigens for diagnosis of different infectious diseases is demonstrated and main principles of their construction are suggested. Data are available on immunogenicity of phospho- and glycolipid mixtures as well as on practical application of the obtained antibodies. Guidelines for the use of immunochemical properties of lipids are outlined.
