Water-soluble immunological adjuvants, extracted from mycobacteria and nocardia cells, useful for stimulating, in a host, the immune response to various kinds of antigens.
摘要:
Water soluble agents effective as immunological adjuvants for stimulating in the host the immune response to various antigens, comprising an acyl-muramic acid group, wherein acyl means acetyl or glycolyl, and a short peptide chain linked to said acyl-muramic acid group, the first and second amino acids of said peptide chain being preferentially alanine and glutamic acid respectively.

摘要:
The invention relates to a process for obtaining agents having mitogenic and/or adjuvant properties, from Nocardia cells.According to this process Nocardia whole cells are subjected to a rupturing treatment of their walls within an aqueous medium, particularly distilled water. After the separation of the non-ruptured cells and of the wall fragments of the ruptured cells, mitogenic agents are extracted from the remaining aqueous phase. The fractions obtained are useful as laboratory reagents and for the production of medicamentous compositions in which they are associated with a pharmaceutical vehicle.
摘要:
The invention pertains to a mitrogenic agent and to a process for obtaining same.It comprises the steps of cultivating Nocardiae cells, collecting them, subjecting them to a treatment for rupturing the integrity of their walls, such as by lysis, discarding the solid residue and collecting the aqueous fraction, causing the peptidoglycane fragments contained in this aqueous fraction to be separated therefrom and recovering the remaining fraction containing the mitogenic agent.
摘要:
A polymer of peptidic type formed by a chain formed from aminoacyl residues preferably derived of at least one of the amino-acid residues selected from the class consisting of .alpha.,.gamma.-diaminobutyric acid, ornithine, lysine, homo-lysine, of which the lateral amino functions portionally carry peptide branches of which the aminoacyl residues are preferably derived of those selected from the class consisting of alanine, glycine, .alpha.-aminobutyric acid, valine, leucine and proline, the above-said peptide polymer having an average molecular weight comprised between about 50,000 and 250,000, and to which are bound covalently, muramyl-peptide units of which the two first aminoacid residues bound to the muramyl group are stereoisomers of the D series, the second aminoacid residue having the structure of the glutamic acid.This product is useful as anti-infectious agent.
