Isolated from the human vagina.
May stimulate macrophages, have immunoregulatory properties. Macrophages remove pathogenic bacteria. Promotes antibody response in vivo. Activates macrophages, causes sharp release of interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-α. Promotes host humoral immune response to pathogenic micro-organisms. 1
