Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is a complex component of cell walls of Gram-positive bacteria that are involved in a wide range of cell processes such as the stimulation of immune responses and cell signaling pathways. LTA differs between species of gram-positive bacteria. Lipoteichoic acid from Streptococcus pyogenes may be used to compare its structure, immunogenicity and functions versus other bacterial LTAs.

To evaluate the suitability of Bacillus subtilis as a production host of heterologous proteins for pharmaceutical purposes, we assessed the biological activity of this bacterium and its major cell envelope components, lipoteichoic acid (LTA) and peptidoglycan-teichoic acid complex (PG-TA) in
Induction of intestinal pro-inflammatory immune responses by lipoteichoic acid.
To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of lipoteichoic acid of Bifidobacterium (BLTA) in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) treatment on the mice bearing inoculated hepatoma-22 (H(22)) cells and the effects of BLTA on immunological regulation of organism, and explore its mechanisms. Tumor-bearing

At allergic inflammation, cross-linking of FcɛRI with multivalent antigen-bound IgE triggers the signaling pathways via activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and mobilization of intracellular Ca(2+) leading to the production of various mediators such as interleukin-6 (IL-6). Accumulating reports demonstrated
