Popis: | The synthesis and characterization of lipopeptides consisting of the lipoamino acid N-palmitoyl-S-[2,3-bis(palmitoyloxy)-(2RS)-propyl]-[R]-cysteine (Pam3Cys-OH) and different peptide segments and/or spacer molecules is described. Pam3Cys-peptides, which are derived from the immunologically active N-terminus of bacterial lipoprotein, were obtained either by solution or solid phase peptide synthesis. In particular, the amphiphilic and water-soluble lipohexapeptides Pam3Cys-Ser-(Lys)4 and Pam3Cys-Ser-(Glu)4 proved to be potent macrophage and B-cell activators and non-toxic, non-pyrogenic immune adjuvants in combination with or covalently linked to antigens and haptens. |
