Abstract:
:Direct stimulations of murine B lymphocytes with synthetic lipid A analogs and synthetic muramyl dipeptide (MDP) derivatives were studied using a limiting dilution assay system. Synthetic lipid A analogs, GLA-27 and GLA-40, when conjugated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) had the ability to induce B cell clonal expansion of a single B cell from the spleen or bone-marrow. Their activities were almost the same as those of naturally obtained lipid A, but were lower than that of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Addition of dextran sulfate (DXS) enhanced the effect of lipid A analogs. In contrast, synthetic MDP and its derivatives, although they had many biological and immunological activities in experimental animals, could not stimulate a single B cell to induce clonal expansion regardless of the presence or absence of DXS. These results suggested that lipid A analogs can directly cause the proliferation of B cells, but MDPs can not.
