Muramyl dipeptide-induced adjuvant arthritis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Muramyl dipeptide, N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine, induced adjuvant arthritis in WKA rats when injected in a water-in-oil emulsion prepared with Freund incomplete adjuvant (Difco), but not when emulsified with Drackeol and Arlacel A.

Synergism between muramyl dipeptide and lipopolysaccharide in the inhibition of glycosaminoglycan synthesis in cultured rat costal chondrocytes.
The effect of synthetic muramyl dipeptide on glycosaminoglycan synthesis in cultured rat costal chondrocytes was examined. Muramyl dipeptide alone had no effect on the glycosaminoglycan synthesis of rat chondrocytes, whereas Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide and interleukin 1 alpha inhibited glycosaminoglycan synthesis in a dose dependent manner. Muramyl dipeptide, when added to chondrocyte c...
متن کاملMarked enhancement in vivo of adjuvant activity of muramyl dipeptide to protein antigens and to synthetic weak immunogens with monoclonal anti-muramyl dipeptide antibodies.
Priming of mice with complexes of antigen coupled to muramyl dipeptide and monoclonal anti-muramyl dipeptide antibodies enhanced the adjuvant activity of muramyl dipeptide on the humoral response to the antigen. The enhancement did not occur with free (uncoupled) muramyl dipeptide and required the presence of an adjuvant-active hapten within the complex as well as the Fc fragment of the monoclo...

متن کاملStimulation of the reticuloendothelial system of mice by muramyl dipeptide.
Muramyl dipeptide (MDP), a part of bacterial cell wall peptidoglycans, was active as adjuvant and stimulated the reticuloendothelial system (RES) of mice to increase its phagocytic function. A series of analogs of MDP was tested for their adjuvant activity and RES-stimulating activity. Sex differences were observed in the adjuvant activity and RES-stimulating capacity of some MDP analogs. A ste...
