  • Patent number: 10918709
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an immune modulator having a novel structure, and an immunologic adjuvant composition containing the same and, more specifically, to an modulator, which is a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) analog having reduced toxicity, and a use thereof. The immune modulator of the present invention exhibits immune enhancement effects by having excellent innate immunity and ability to induce an adaptive immune response to a specific pathogen, and is very safe by having low toxicity. In addition, a vaccine containing the immune modulator of the present invention contains both an immune modulator and an alum, thereby improving immune enhancement effects compared with when using only the immune modulator.

  • Patent number: 10874733
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an immunity enhancing composition including an immune response modulator having a novel structure and, more specifically, to an immunity enhancing composition and a use of the same, wherein the immunity enhancing composition includes a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) analogue with reduced toxicity, and a cationic liposome. The present invention overcomes the physicochemical instability of a liposome, is advantageous in terms of production, transportation, and storage, and improves stability, thus being beneficial as an immune delivery system. In addition, the present invention includes an immune response modulator, and a cationic liposome, and thus exhibits an enhanced immunity-improving effect compared to the case in which an immune response modulator is used alone.
