    The biology of endotoxin

    Endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) is the major component of the outer leaflet of Gram-negative bacteria and has profound immunostimulatory and inflammatory capacity. The septic shock syndrome caused by endot...

    Bacterial Endotoxin: Chemical Constitution, Biological Recognition, Host Response, and Immunological Detoxification

    The discovery of endotoxin dates from the late nineteenth century when Richard Pfeiffer, then working in Berlin, characterized endotoxins as heat-stable and cell-associated molecules (Westphal et al. 1977), thus ...

    Specific binding of bacillus Calmette-Guérin to urothelial tumor cells in vitro

    Intravesical immunotherapy with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) against recurrences of superficial bladder cancer and carcinoma in situ is a highly effective regimen in urology. Despite intensive efforts to cla...

    On the mode of action of intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin: in vitro characterization of BCG-activated killer cells

    Previously we had shown that, upon activation with viable bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) could be rendered cytotoxic against otherwise insensitive natural killer (NK...

    Molecular Aspects of the Chemistry and Biology of Endotoxin

    Endotoxins are integral constituents of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria such as the Enterobacteriaceae, Neisseriaceae, and Chlamydiaceae (Lüderitz et al. 1982). They participate in various physiol...
