General description
Monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) is either extracted from bacterial lipid A or by chemical synthesis.
Vaccination is well-accepted as an effective method to prevent infections by mounting pathogen-specific immune responses prior to the infection. Usually, immunization with vaccine antigens alone is not able to induce robust or long-lasting immune responses — resulting in failure of protective immunity against infections. Thus, adjuvants are required to enhance cellular or humoral immune responses upon immunization. Because vaccine adjuvants using Lipid A have proven to be safe and effective in inducing Th-1 type immune responses to heterologous proteins in animal and human vaccines, Avanti developed Phosphorylated HexaAcyl Disaccharide (PHAD™), the first fully synthetic monophosphoryl Lipid A available for use as an adjuvant in human vaccines.
Application
MPLA PHAD™ has been used:
- as a component of cobalt porphyrin-phospholipid (Co-PoP) liposomes for the immunization of mice with membrane proximal external region (MPER) of the gp41 envelope protein
- as an adjuvant along with dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide(DDA) for C. muridarum recombinant membrane protein based multi-subunit vaccine
- as toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) agonist adjuvant for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) fusion (F) protein FI-RSV vaccine
Biochem/physiol Actions
Monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) is a natural agonist for the toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4). It is useful as an adjuvant in immunization. MPLA is a safe prophylactic agent and has immunotherapeutic applications. MPLA used in vaccination improves B cell and T cell-mediated immunity.

Innate immune responses to vaccine adjuvants based on lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of gram-negative bacterial cell walls, are driven by Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and adaptor proteins including MyD88 and TRIF, leading to the production of inflammatory cytokines, type I

Natural derivatives and synthetic analogues of lipopolysaccharide are potent stimulators of the mammalian immune system. Retained adjuvant activity with reduced toxicity was obtained by the development of monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL((R))), which is approved for use in several vaccine products.

Toll-like receptors (TLRs), a family of "pattern recognition receptors," bind microbial and host-derived molecules, leading to intracellular signaling and proinflammatory gene expression. TLR4 is unique in that ligand-mediated activation requires the co-receptor myeloid differentiation 2 (MD2) to initiate two signaling
