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 ...

The Active Principle of Bacterial Lipopolysaccharides (Endotoxins) for Cytokine Induction
Toxic agents in bacterial cultures have been discov ered in the last decades of the nineteenth century. Pfeiffer described endotoxic in addition to exotoxic activities (Pfeiffer 1892), which include fever (Cen...

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...

Lipid A, the Immunostimulatory Principle of Lipopolysaccharides ?
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is an inducer of toxic and immunostimulatory or immunoregulatory responses (2). The lipid A moiety was shown to be the endotoxic principle of LPS (3, 9). Data about immunostimulatory p...
