Water soluble agents effective as immunological adjuvants for stimulating, in the host the immune response to various antigens and compositions, notably vaccines containing said water soluble agents

摘要

Water soluble agents effective as immunological adjuvants for stimulating in the host the immune response to various antigens, comprising an acyl-muramic acid group, wherein acyl means acetyl or glycolyl, and a short peptide chain linked to said acyl-muramic acid group, the first and second amino acids of said peptide chain being preferentially alanine and glutamic acid respectively.
