N-Acetylpsychosine (C2 Galactosylceramide (d18:1/2:0)), α-galactosylated C2-Ceramide, has immunostimulatory activity. N-Acetylpsychosine can be a useful tool to investigate the mechanism of apoptosis and the immune reponses induced by dendritic cells (DCs)^[1] .

N-Acetylpsychosine induces concentration-dependent stimulation of the MLR responses in concentrations from 80 ng/mL to 2 μg/mL^[1] .

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
