Abstract
A multimer of monomers non-covalently held together by interactive peptide linkers is provided for the enhancement of the immunogenicity of a substance. These multimers are useful for stimulating or suppressing the immune system, detecting the presence of antibodies, bypassing MHC restriction in an animal, the effective presentation of antigen, suppressing autoimmune disease, inducing cytokine production, adsorption, treating a defective immune system and for use as an adjuvant.
