QUICK LINKS

MALP-2 is isolated from Mycoplasma fermentans which corresponds to the originally isolated isomer. MALP-2 expresses potent endotoxin-like activity and approaches in certain experimental systems the toxicity of LPS. Signalling, unlike that of LPS, is not transduced via TLR4, but is induced via TLR2 and TLR6 signalling. Specific activity is ~2x108units/mg. One unit of MALP-2 is defined as the dilution giving half maximal release of nitric oxide from C3H/HeJ mouse peritoneal exudate cells in the standard assay.
