General description

Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) are characteristic components of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. LPS and its lipid A moiety stimulate cells of the innate immune system by the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a member of the Toll-like receptor protein family, which recognizes common pathogen-associated molecular-patterns (PAMPs).

Application

Lipopolysaccharides from Salmonella enterica serotype Minnesota are used in cell culture and cell binding applications. LPS was used to elicit the activation of NF-κB pathway in human intestinal epithelial cells and mouse dendritic cells. It was used to study the immune responses following autologous blood donation.

Preoperative autologous blood donation (PABD) has been shown to decrease natural killer (NK) cell function in cancer patients, raising concerns about an increased cancer recurrence risk owing to PABD. It is unclear whether PABD leads to other immunomodulatory effects that

The molecular basis of signal-dependent transcriptional activation has been extensively studied in macrophage polarization, but our understanding remains limited regarding the molecular determinants of repression. Here we show that IL-4-activated STAT6 transcription factor is required for the direct transcriptional repression
