Biomedical applications of chromatographic fraction containing trehalose dimycolate in squalane emulsion.

K N Masihi et al.

Journal of chromatography, 440, 473-478 (1988-05-25)

Trehalose dimycolate extracted from mycobacteria is a potent immunomodulator. Incorporation of trehalose dimycolate in a squalane-in-water emulsion leads predominantly to the formation of vesicular structures, which are observable by electron microscopy. The interaction between vesicles of trehalose dimycolate and the

Biological importance and applications of squalene and squalane.
