Syntheses of fluorescent imidazoquinoline conjugates as probes of Toll-like receptor 7
摘要:
Toll-like receptor (TLR)-7 agonists show prominent immunostimulatory activities. The synthesis of a TLR7-active N-1-(4-aminomethyl)benzyl substituted imidazoquinoline 5d served as a convenient precursor for the covalent attachment of fluorophores without significant loss of activity. Fluorescence microscopy experiments show that the fluorescent analogues are internalized and distributed in the endosomal compartment. Flow cytometry experiments using whole human blood show differential partitioning into B, T, and natural killer (NK) lymphocytic subsets, which correlate with the degree of activation in these subsets. These fluorescently-labeled imidazoquinolines will likely be useful in examining the trafficking of TLR7 in immunological synapses. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The present disclosure relates to a method of loading a toll like receptor (TLR)7/8 agonist into a liposome using remote loading and a kit of parts suitable for the loading of a TLR7/8 agonist into a liposome by said method. The present disclosure further relates to a liposome comprising a salt of a TLR7/8 agonist in the liposome interior and to the use of said liposome for stimulation of an immune response and/or treatment of a clinical condition. Finally, the present disclosure relates to a TLR7/8 agonist which is suitable for being remotely loaded into a liposome.
