18:0 PE-DTPA (1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (ammonium salt)) has been used to chelate liposome-based cationic adjuvant formulation (CAF01). It has also been used in the liposome preparation for imaging studies
1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (18:0 PE-DTPA) or PE-DTPA binding and interaction with the Toll-like receptor-2 regulates immune response . PE-DTPA acts as a lipopolysaccharide antagonist and elicits rescue functionality in sepsis by blocking nuclear factor K -light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells based transcription.
