Description

Distearyl dimethyl ammonium bromide (or dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide (or DDA), a quaternary ammonium salt, that stimulates immune responses and binds to antigens. DDA enhances the immunogenicity of the soluble antigen. It was shown, that complexes of DDA and antigen were effective in eliciting a delayed hypersensitivity reaction, which was desirable for an antitumor effect. Besides, as a part of liposomal adjuvants, DDA can modulate T-helper 1-immune responses.
