TDB is a glycolipid adjuvant and an immunomodulator that can induce a cell-mediated immune and antibody response. TDB, along with DDA, can be used to form non-phospholipid based liposomal-like nanoparticles. TDB also plays a critical role in stabilizing the nanoparticle membrane, especially during freeze-drying processes, by increasing the hydration of the membrane surface.
