Further studies on the adjuvanticity of stearyl tyrosine and amide analogues.
Stearly tyrosine has been described in the literature as a candidate adjuvant for human vaccines. More recently, other stearyl esters have been reported to be adjuvant-active. This preliminary study assesses the adjuvanticity of stearyl amides, including the amide analogue of stearyl tyrosine: tyrosyl stearylamine. This study indicates that phenylalanylethanolamine O-stearate induces a significant antibody response and a favourable isotype distribution.
