Homologous expression and purification of human HAX‐1 for structural studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This research protocol provides detailed instructions for cloning, expressing, and purifying large quantities of the intrinsically disordered human HAX‐1 protein, N‐terminally fused to a cleavable superfolder GFP, from mammalian cells. HAX‐1 is predicted to undergo posttranslational modifications and to interact with membranes, various cellular ...

Highly Sensitive Electrochemical Endotoxin Sensor Based on Redox Cycling Using an Interdigitated Array Electrode Device

Micromachines, 2023
The Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) reaction-based assay, the most commonly used endotoxin detection method, requires a skilled technician. In this study, to develop an easy-to-use and highly sensitive endotoxin sensor, we created an electrochemical ...

Consequences of the Lack of IL-10 in Different Endotoxin Effects and its Relationship With Glucocorticoids [PDF]

, 2019
Sepsis constitutes one of the major causes of death in ICUs. In sepsis induced by gram-negative, although lipopolysaccharide (LPS) initially induces an exacerbated secretion of proinflammatory cytokines leading to endotoxic shock and death resembling a ...

Mechanisms of endotoxin shock and endotoxin hypersensitivity

Immunobiology, 1993
Endotoxins (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) are biologically active substances present in Gram-negative bacteria. Injection of purified LPS into experimental animals leads to the development of many biological activities that can lead to shock with lethal outcome.

Host‐Directed Biomaterials for Combatting Bloodstream Infections: From Macrocyclic Peptides to Immune‐Activating Cell Backpacks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bloodstream infections (BSI) are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in both civilian and military populations. This paper summarizes recent progress in novel treatment strategies to manage BSI arising from both bacterial and fungal pathogens using molecules, particles, and materials to elicit host‐directed immunity.

Lessons learned from contamination with endotoxin originated from the supplement in the cell culture medium

Regenerative Therapy
Introduction: Endotoxin is a typical pyrogen derived from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. In fabricating cell-based medicinal products, it is necessary to control endotoxin in the process and the products.

Removal of Endotoxin from rAAV Samples Using a Simple Detergent-Based Protocol

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2019
Endotoxin is the most common contaminant found in protein samples. Even a small amount of endotoxin can induce strong allergic reaction and death of a host organism.

Testing the relationship between gut permeability, elevation of systemic lipopolysaccharides and chronic disease : A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2016
The aim of my thesis was to test whether an increase in the permeability of the gut is accompanied by an increase in the level of systemic lipopolysaccharides (LPS), also referred to as endotoxin.

Expanding Chemical Space of Nucleic Acid Nanoparticles for Tunable Antiviral‐Like Immunomodulatory Responses and Potent Adjuvant Activity

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a nucleic acid nanoparticle (NANP) platform designed to be rrecognized by the human innate immune system in a regulated manner. By changing chemical composition while maintaining constant architectural parameters, we identify key determinants of immunorecognition enabling the rational design of NANPs with tunable immune activation profiles

Hooray for Hypoxia? [PDF]

, 2005
The mortality of critically ill patients rises steadily as the partial pressure of arterial oxygen falls below about 11 kPa (80 mm Hg). A new animal study in the May 2005 issue of PLoS Biology showing a potential benefit for hypoxia is thus a challenge ...
