Biochem/physiol Actions

Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) exhibits immunostimulatory properties and stimulates both cell-mediated and humoral responses in animals and humans. It serves as a vaccine adjuvant and facilitates protein conjugation. In addition, KLH acts as a carrier protein to produce antibodies as well as haptens such as peptides and oligosaccharides. It is also used in the treatment of bladder cancer.
