Biochem/physiol Actions
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 faecalis may be used to compare its structure, immunogenicity and functions versus other bacterial LTAs.

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is a structural component of the cell walls of Gram-positive bacteria. Similar to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) which is expressed in Gram-negative bacteria, LTA exhibits immunostimulatory properties. Frequently observed positive response of LTA in the Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL)

The relative activities of lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from four Gram-positive bacteria were compared to different lipopolysaccharide (LPS) preparations for activation of arachidonic acid metabolism in mouse peritoneal macrophages. Total eicosanoid was determined in cultures labeled with [3H]-arachidonic acid. Prostaglandin E2

The cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria contains lipoteichoic acid (LTA) and peptidoglycan (PepG), which synergise to cause shock and organ failure in animals, and to activate human blood to release proinflammatory cytokines. The structural elements within LTA and PepG that
