Certain physicochemical properties of glycoglycerolipids from marine alga Laminaria japonica (monogalactosyldiacylglycerol, digalactosyldiacylglycerol, and sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol) and their ability to be incorporated into immunostimulating complexes (ISCOMs) used for delivery of microbial and tumor antigens in vesicular form were comparatively described. These glycolipids proved to considerably differ by fatty acid composition, degree of unsaturation, and phase transition temperatures. Production of modified ISCOMs through incorporation of these glycolipids into the vesicle instead of the glycolipid component was demonstrated. Preliminary data demonstrated no significant increase in immune response to Yersinia pseudotuberculosis porin in the modified (with monogalactosyldiacylglycerol) and classical (with phosphatidylcholine) ISCOMs as compared to pure porin.
