Abstrakt: The adjuvant effect of synthetic analogues of lipid A was investigated in mice in vivo. Two of the five synthetic lipid A analogues showed adjuvant activity when they were incorporated into dipalmitoylglycerophosphocholine -- cholesterol --dipalmitoylglycerophosphate liposomes sensitized with trinitrophenylaminocaproylglycerophosphoethanolamine. The minimum structure for an adjuvant effect in the liposomal immunogen system was 1-mono-phosphate of 6-O-(2-deoxy-2-tetradecanoylamino-6-O-tetradeeanoyl-D-glucopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-2-tetradecanoylamino- 3,4-di-O-tetradecanoyl-D-glucopyranose.
