K. Miyajima et al., SYNTHESIS OF TN, SIALYL TN AND HIV-1-DERIVED PEPTIDE ANTIGEN CONJUGATES HAVING A LIPID-A ANALOG AS AN IMMUNOADJUVANT FOR SYNTHETIC VACCINES, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 46(11), 1998, pp. 1676-1682
Conjugates (3-5) of Tn, sialyl Tn and HIV-1-derived peptide antigen,vi
th a N-tetradecanoyl L-serine-beta-alanine-containing D-glucosamine de
rivative, structurally related to lipid A, as an immunoadjuvant for th
e development of totally synthetic vaccines against cancers or HIV wer
e synthesized. The mitogenic activity of compounds 3, 4 and 5 was stro
nger than that of lipid A analogs (1, 2).
