Product Data Sheet
Pam2Cys
Catalog No. A35341
Pam2Cys is a TLR2 agonist that acts as an immunostimulant by binding to TLR2, activating dendritic cells, and initiating the TLR2-dependent NF-κB signaling pathway. This compound promotes dendritic cell maturation through the upregulation of MHC II molecules, enhances innate immune signaling, and drives pro-inflammatory responses, including the release of IL-12 and other cytokines. Additionally, Pam2Cys serves as a lipid moiety in synthetic lipopeptide vaccines, boosting immunogenicity, while selectively inducing pro-inflammatory macrophage activation. Research applications include studies on tuberculosis and influenza A virus infections, as it effectively recruits immune cells and mitigates infection-related symptoms without compromising adaptive immunity.
