Abstract:Liposomes haptenated with tripeptide-enlarged dinitrophenyl (DNP) are known to act as thymus-independent antigens which induce a strong IgM response and only limited amounts of circulating IgG. When haptenated liposomes are used in vaccination studies, it is of practical importance to improve the immunogenicity of these complexes. Therefore, an evaluation was made of the potency of various substances to modulate the immune response in such a way that the total antibody production is increased, including a rela… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
