Adjuvant activity of bacterial peptidoglycans
Abstract
Purified peptidoglycans isolated from various Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria can substitute for Mycobacteria in Freund's adjuvant. Monomeric subunits possess the same adjuvant activity. This activity seems to be related to the peptidic fraction.
