Vaccine adjuvant activity of a TLR4-activating synthetic glycolipid by promoting autophagy

Abstract Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play crucial roles in host immune defenses. Recently, TLR-mediated autophagy is reported to promote immune responses via increasing antigen processing and presentation in antigen presenting cells. The present study examined whether the synthetic TLR4 activator (CC...
