Porphyromanas gingivalis LPS elicits a Th2 immune response. P. gingivalis LPS, detoxified P. gingivalis LPS, derivatives of P. gingivalis LPS, derivatives of detoxified P. gingivalis LPS, P. gingivalis Lipid A, detoxified P. gingivalis Lipid A, derivatives of P. gingivalis Lipid A, derivatives of detoxified P. gingivalis Lipid A, or mimetics thereof, can be used as adjuvants to elicit a Th2 immune response, increase the efficacy of vaccinations in infectious diseases, decrease the severity of autoimmune responses, boost the Th2 immune response when needed in combination with the Th1 immune response, facilitate the industrial production of antibodies when used in animals, and study the Th2 immune response in laboratory animal research. |
