Interactions between lipids and receptors for structurally conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns, most commonly the Toll-like receptors (TLRs), have been studied in detail for their involvement in adjuvant activity. TLRs appear to play an important role in the functioning of many adjuvants and the most important TLRs for lipopeptide or glycolipopeptide vaccines are TLR1, TLR2, TLR4, and TLR6 (van Duin et al. 2006).
