In a previous study, we demonstrated that a lipophilic derivative of muramyl dipeptide [MDP-Lys(L18)] augmented antibody response to recombinant human hepatitis B surface antigen (rhHBsAg) when it was co-immunized with rhHBsAg solubilized in PBS. Here, we examined adjuvant activity of

The most appropriate time for administration was studied based on examination of the total number of leukocytes, differential white blood count, and the number of platelets in 30 cases in which 200 micrograms Romurtide (Nopia) was injected subcutaneously on the

NLRs (nucleotide oligomerisation domain [NOD] proteins containing a leucine-rich repeat) are cytosolic pattern recognition receptors. NOD1 senses diaminopimelic acid-containing peptidoglycan present in gram-negative bacteria, whereas NOD2 senses the muramyl dipeptide (MDP) present in most organisms. Bacteria are the most common

We investigated the therapeutic effects of romurtide, a synthetic muramyl dipeptide derivative, on experimental thrombocytopenia induced by carboplatin in cynomolgus monkeys. A prolonged thrombocytopenia due to a severe myelosuppression was induced by carboplatin. Romurtide given subcutaneously elevated significantly the peripheral

To examine the effect of MDP-Lys(L18), a derivative of muramyl dipeptide (MDP), as a mucosal immunoadjuvant, we investigated its activity to augment host resistance against mucosal infections by Sendai virus and rotavirus in mice. In an experimental infection model using
