Self-Adjuvanting Lipopeptide Vaccines [PDF]
Despite the important role of adjuvants for vaccine development, relatively few adjuvants have been successfully incorporated into vaccines intended for human administration. This is in part due to the high toxicity associated with many experimental adjuvants. This lack of choice effectively hinders the ability to produce vaccines against many diseases,

Influence of nutrient medium and time on lipopeptide synthesis in Bacillus subtilis GM5 [PDF]
The level of expression of srfAD gene, a subunit AD of surfactin synthetase, and the yield of the total lipopeptide fraction were studied in relation to the composition of nutrient medium and the growth stage of the probiotic strain Bacillus subtilis ...

Synthesis of MUC1–lipopeptide chimeras [PDF]
An efficient method for the convergent assembly of MUC1-lipopeptide vaccine candidates is described. Chimeras consisting of MUC1 glycopeptides (bearing multiple copies of the T(N) and T tumour-associated carbohydrate antigens) tethered to the lipopeptide immunoadjuvant Pam(3)CysSer were synthesised in high yields using a fragment-based condensation ...

Molecular Mechanism of Lipopeptide Presentation by CD1a [PDF]
CD1a is expressed on Langerhans cells (LCs) and dendritic cells (DCs), where it mediates T cell recognition of glycolipid and lipopeptide antigens that contain either one or two alkyl chains. We demonstrate here that CD1a-restricted T cells can discriminate the peptide component of didehydroxymycobactin lipopeptides.

De novo design of lipopeptide-based fusion inhibitor as potential broad-spectrum antiviral agent [PDF]
The recent surge in emerging viral infections warrants the need to design broad-spectrum antivirals. We aimed to develop a lead molecule that targets the membrane to block fusion, an obligate step of enveloped virus infection.
