Abstract: | The 6-amino-6-deoxy-N-acetylmuramyldipeptides and their 6-acylamino derivatives were shown to be active as adjuvants on the induction of delayed-type hypersensitivity to azobenzenearsonate-N-acetyl-l-tyrosine in guinea pigs. However, 6-acylamino-6-deoxy-N-(acyl)muramyldipeptides were inactive as adjuvants. |
