MPLAs Vaccigrade™

Synthetic lipid A

Synthetic lipid A from E. coli, serotype R515 (MPLAs) is a pure monophosphoryl lipid A compound produced by chemical synthesis.
MPLAs activates TLR4 but does not activate TLR2 reflecting its high purity. MPLAs contains 6 fatty acyl groups, while MPLA purified from bacteria contains a mixture of 5, 6, and 7 acyl lipid A.

MPLA has been tested as an adjuvant in mice and reported to induce a strong Th1 response.

MPLAs VacciGrade™ is suitable for preclinical studies. It is prepared under strict aseptic conditions. It is guaranteed sterile.

MPLAs VacciGrade™ is for research use only, not for use in humans.

Details

MPLA is a low-toxicity derivative of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), that retains the immunologically active lipid A portion of the parent molecule [1]. While the toxicity associated with LPS prohibits its potential clinical use, MPLA is being developed as a vaccine adjuvant [2]. Both LPS and MPLA are TLR4 agonists, but they signal through different adaptors, MyD88 and TRIF, respectively. The reduced toxicity of MPLA is attributed to the preferential recruitment of TRIF upon TLR4 activation, resulting in decreased induction of inflammatory cytokines [3].

MPLA has been tested as an adjuvant in mice and reported to induce a strong Th1 response [4-5]. Although the mechanism of action of MPLA has not been fully eludicated, it has been suggested that MPLA improves vaccine immunogenicity by enhancing antigen presenting cell maturation [6].
