Lipopolysaccharide Endotoxins [PDF]
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2002 ▪ Abstract Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) typically consist of a hydrophobic domain known as lipid A (or endotoxin), a nonrepeating “core” oligosaccharide, and a distal polysaccharide (or O-antigen). Recent genomic data have facilitated study of LPS assembly in diverse Gram-negative bacteria, many of which are human or plant pathogens, and have ...

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

Advances in the Development of Biomaterials for Endotoxin Adsorption in Sepsis
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Sepsis, a life-threatening and intractable disease without any specific treatment, is activated by endotoxin. Some attempts at removing endotoxin to treat sepsis from the blood circulation using different hemoperfusion cartridges have been proposed ...

Reexamination of the Effect of Endotoxin on Cell Proliferation and Transfection Efficiency
BioTechniques, 2000 Plasmid DNA purified from bacterial cells can be contaminated with endotoxin to different extents, depending on the purification method. Earlier reports indicate that endotoxin can decrease transfection efficiency in many eukaryotic cell lines; however ...

Influence of the apical enlargement size on the endotoxin level reduction of dental root canals
Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2012 Gram-negative bacteria play an essential role in endodontic infections because they have virulence factors such as endotoxin. Due to its potential cytotoxic activity, special attention has been given to the removal/neutralization of this endotoxin in the
