“…This could be due to the fact that clostridia often show poor development of their peptidoglycan layer during stationary culture conditions. Peptidoglycan from corynebacteria has previously been shown to be a weaker inducer of IL-12 p40 than peptidoglycan from other bacterial strains (13,23). Interestingly, clostridia seem to be more prevalent in allergic children than in nonatopic children (4).…”

“…Bacterial peptidoglycans (PG) are polymeric cell wall components which possess various immunomodulating properties (21). They exert an adjuvant effect on humoral and cell-mediated immune responses (13), and they can increase resistance to tumor growth (8,15,18). Monomeric PG subunits are adjuvant active (14), as are synthetic derivatives of these subunits (2,5).…”

“…1). Unlike the usual peptidoglycans from various gram-positive bacteria, those from M. luteus lacked immunomodulating activities such as immunoadjuvant activity (19), antitumor activity (11), mitogenic activity (12), and cytokine-inducing activity (21). We showed that the cytokine-inducing activity of M. luteus cell walls was attributable to the TUA portion and not to the peptidoglycan portion (25).…”
