Abstract
The present invention relates to a malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde adduct which acts as a specific immune-enhancing factor. In addition to its highly specific and immunogenic properties, the factor is highly fluorescent. It has an excitation frequency of about 398 nanometers and an absorbance of about 460 nanometers. The factor is also highly reactive and is also adducted to antigens including complex proteins, lipids, carbohydrates or DNA.
