An object of the present invention is to prepare substances which are excellent in delivery and enable drugs to be retained in a body effectively over a long period and to construct a drug delivery system using the substances. When the delivering substance which is obtained by reacting polyalkylene glycol or a reactive derivative thereof, a phospholipid and a drug with each other to form covalent bonds is administered systemically or topically, the substance is retained at a target site in a body for a long period, thereby making it possible to sustain drug efficacy over a long period by a single administration.

The present invention relates to compositions for intradermal delivery of an antigenic or immunogenic agent in combination with one or more adjuvants. The immunogenic compositions of the invention comprise an antigenic or immunogenic agent and at least one adjuvant, which enhances the immune response to the antigenic or immunogenic agent, once delivered to the intradermal compartment of a subject's skin. The immunogenic compositions of the invention have enhanced efficacy as the adjuvants of the composition promote recruitment of antigen presenting cells to the intradermal compartment and thus enhance presentation and/or availability of the antigenic or immunogenic agent to the antigen presenting cells. The enhanced efficacy of the immunogenic compositions of the invention results in a therapeutically and/or prophylactically effective immune response after a single intradermal dose, with lower doses of adjuvant than conventionally used, achieving therapeutic efficacy from a single administration.
