A preparation and use thereof for modulating immune response, comprising lipids comprising esters of glycerol (propane 1,2,3-triol) with fatty acids, also including 1,2-di-O-acylglycerols joined at oxygen by a glycosidic linkage to a carbohydrate, also derivatives of glycerol in which one hydroxy group, commonly but not necessarily primary, is esterified with phosphoric acid as mono- or di-esters and the other two are esterified with fatty acids, thus excluding those organic compounds consisting of a trisaccharide repeating unit with oligosaccharide side chains and acyl or amine linked fatty acid. |
