Beschreibung

General description

This product is extracted from E. coli serotype O111:B4 and purified by chromatography. The source strain is from a private collection. The lipid A moiety has been partially delipidated by alkaline hydrolysis. Removal of the fatty acid portions of lipid A results in a detoxified LPS with an endotoxin level about 10,000 times lower than that of the parent LPS.

Application

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sind charakteristische Bestandteile der Zellwand von gramnegativen Bakterien. LPS und seine Lipid-A-Gruppe stimulieren Zellen des angeborenen Immunsystems durch den Toll-like-Rezeptor 4 (TLR4). TLR4 gehört zur Toll-like-Rezeptor-Proteinfamilie, die häufige Pathogen-assoziierte molekulare Strukturen (PAMPs) erkennt.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are localized in the outer layer of the membrane and are, in noncapsulated strains, exposed on the cell surface. They contribute to the integrity of the outer membrane, and protect the cell against the action of bile salts and lipophilic antibiotics.

Preparation Note

Chromatographically purified; delipidized by alkaline hydrolysis

The product is soluble in water (5 mg/ml) or cell culture medium (1 mg/ml) yielding a hazy, faint yellow solution. A more concentrated, though still hazy, solution (20 mg/ml) has been achieved in aqueous saline after vortexing and warming to 70-80 ^oC. Lipopolysaccharides are molecules that form micelles in every solvent. Hazy solutions are observed in water and phosphate buffered saline. Organic solvents do not give clearer solutions. Methanol yields a turbid suspension with floaters, while water yields a homogeneously hazy solution.
