title: [Enhancement of the activity of hepatitis B virus vaccine by association with murabutide].
abstract: Murabutide (N-acetyl-muramyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamine-alpha-butylester), an MDP analogue, is a potential adjuvant for Human immunization. High levels of specific antibodies were obtained in Mouse and Guinea-Pig following administration with murabutide of low dosages of anti-hepatitis B viral vaccine containing the surface antigen (HBs). The effect of murabutide was enhanced without increasing the level of specific IgE by association with suboptimal dosages of aluminium hydroxide.
