Development and characterization of synthetic glucopyranosyl lipid adjuvant system as a vaccine adjuvant. by Rhea N Coler, Sylvie Bertholet, Magdalini Moutaftsi, Jeff A Guderian, Hillarie Plessner Windish, Susan L Baldwin, Elsa M Laughlin, Malcolm S Duthie, Christopher B Fox, Darrick Carter, Martin Friede, Thomas S Vedvick, Steven G Reed

“…We demonstrate that GLA has multifunctional immunomodulatory activity similar to naturally-derived monophosphory lipid A (MPL) on murine DC, including the production of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, DC maturation and antigen-presenting functions. In contrast, hexaacylated GLA was overall more potent on a molar basis than heterogeneous MPL when tested on human DC and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). …”
