Abstract

Monophosphoryl lipid A and a synthetic, nontoxic monosaccharide analog of lipid A, termed GLA 60, both strongly suppressed antibody production when administered 1 to 2 days prior to antigen. Evidence is presented that this suppression was mediated by two cytokines, prostaglandin E and transforming growth factor β, because it was reversed by multiple injections of the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin and by in vitro addition of antibody to transforming growth factor β.
