Lipid A structures containing novel lipid moieties: synthesis and adjuvant properties.
Structurally well-defined immune stimulatory molecules are important components of new generation molecular vaccines. In this paper, the design and synthesis of two lipid A analogues containing an unnatural tri-lipid acyl group are described. In a totally synthetic liposomal vaccine system, these re-designed lipid A analogues demonstrate potent immune stimulatory properties including antigen specific T-cell activation.
