Comparison of LAL and rFC Assays—Participation in a Proficiency Test Program between 2014 and 2019

Microorganisms, 2020
Endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide) testing of drugs is routinely required in pharmaceutical industries. Suitable compendial assays are defined by national pharmacopoeias. At this time, Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) assays are the gold standard. LAL is used

Akt+ IKKα/β+ Rab5+ Signalosome Mediate the Endosomal Recruitment of Sec61 and Contribute to Cross-Presentation in Bone Marrow Precursor Cells

Vaccines, 2020
Cross-presentation in dendritic cells (DC) requires the endosomal relocations of internalized antigens and the endoplasmic reticulum protein Sec61. Despite the fact that endotoxin-containing pathogen and endotoxin-free antigen have different effects on ...

The endotoxin hypothesis of neurodegeneration

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2019
The endotoxin hypothesis of neurodegeneration is the hypothesis that endotoxin causes or contributes to neurodegeneration. Endotoxin is a lipopolysaccharide (LPS), constituting much of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria, present at high ...

Sources of Airborne Endotoxins in Ambient Air and Exposure of Nearby Communities—A Review

Atmosphere, 2018
Endotoxin is a bioaerosol component that is known to cause respiratory effects in exposed populations. To date, most research focused on occupational exposure, whilst much less is known about the impact of emissions from industrial operations on downwind
