A Lipopolysaccharide Antigen of the Treponema
Nature, 1958IMMUNOCHEMICAL studies carried out by D'Alessandro et al. 1 on a non-pathogenic, culturable treponeme, the so-called Reiter treponeme, revealed the presence of four antigenic components: (1) a thermolabile protein; (2) a specific, thermostable antigen with polysaccharide characteristics; (3) a lipoid, corresponding to the ubiquitous lipidic antigen ...

Antibodies to lipopolysaccharide
Journal of Immunological Methods, 1995Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are indispensable structural components of the Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane and are major determinants of virulence in pathogenic species. In the infected host LPS is better known as endotoxin where it acts as a potent stimulator of the inflammatory response.

Structure of bacterial lipopolysaccharides
Carbohydrate Research, 2003Bacterial lipopolysaccharides are the major components of the outer surface of Gram-negative bacteria They are often of interest in medicine for their immunomodulatory properties. In small amounts they can be beneficial, but in larger amounts they may cause endotoxic shock.

Biodegradation of microbial lipopolysaccharides [PDF]
Experientia, 1973 La biodegradation parBacillus macerans des lipopolysaccharides (LPS), extraites deSalmonella typhimurium, Salmonella minnesota et Escherichia coli fut etudiee dans un milieu liquide mineral, contenant uniquement ces LPS comme sources de carbone. II fut observe qu'apres avoir effectue une hydrolyse des LPS le microorganisme se developpe sur les acides ...

Characterization of Legionella Lipopolysaccharide
2012The lipopolysaccharide(LPS) of Legionella spp. is an immuno-dominant antigen and the basis for Legionella pneumophila serogroup classification. The LPS shows a peculiar structure composed of a very hydrophobic lipid A acylated by long chain fatty acids and an O-antigen-specific chain consisting of homopolymeric legionaminic acid.

Lipopolysaccharide of Coxiella burnetii
2012A lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is considered to be one of the major determinants of virulence expression and infection of virulent Coxiella burnetii. The LPSs from virulent phase I (LPS I) and from avirulent phase II (LPS II) bacteria were investigated for their chemical composition, structure and biological properties.

421 THE LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE BINDING PROTEIN RESPONSE TO INTRATRACHEAL LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Medicine, 2005 Lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) is an acute-phase glycoprotein that facilitates lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activation of immune cells through interactions with CD14 and toll-like receptor 4. In response to conditions such as sepsis, trauma, and ARDS, LBP concentrations increase in both plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF).

Structure and function of lipopolysaccharides
Microbes and Infection, 2002The lipopolysaccharides of Gram-negative bacteria have a profound effect on the mammalian immune system and are of great significance in the pathophysiology of many disease processes. Consideration is given in this review to the relationship between structure and function of these lipopolysaccharides.
