PAPER 1 In the first paper we show that reducing the average molecular weight from ~350 kDa to <6kDa by acid hydrolysis diminished the cell-stimulating activity of poly-M, measured as TNFproduction from human monocytes. However, the activity of the resulting oligomers (M-blocks) was greatly enhanced when covalently attached to particles (plastic beads or biodegradable albumin particles). Similar results were obtained with detoxified/deacylated LPS (DLPS) and glucuronic acid polymers (C6OXY), but not with G-blocks that by themselves are not active. These results suggest that the supramolecular structure affects the potency of polysaccharide stimuli, and that M-blocks attached to biodegradable albumin particles could possibly be exploited as...
