Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activator. Activates TLR4 but does not activate TLR2 even at high concentrations. Defined structure of MPLA. Synthetic lipid A is structurally very similar to natural MPLA but does not exist in nature.
Source:Synthetic. Does not contain RNA, DNA or protein fragments.
Molecular Formula:C96H184N3O22P
Molecular Weight:~1763.47
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at 4°C. Do not freeze. Aliquots are stable for 6 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
Ready-made solution is cell culture-grade. Prepare diluted MPLA working solutions in H2O just prior to use, keep sterile.
