Abstract

We developed a small-molecule trimeric PRR agonist-based adjuvant inspired by the stimulation pattern of a pathogen. This molecule generated by covalently linking TLR2/6 agonist, NOD2 agonist, and NLRP3 inflammasome activator, stimulates multiple subfamilies of PRRs in a spatially defined manner resulting in an amplified innate immune response in vitro. Moreover, it elicits both stronger humoral and cellular immune responses in vivo.
