High‐affinity LPS binding domain(s) in recombinant factor C of a horseshoe crab neutralizes LPS‐induced lethality
1 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
SSCrFCES is a biologically active, recombinant fragment of factor C, which is the endotoxin-sensitive serine protease of the LAL coagulation cascade. The approximately 38 kDa protein represents the LPS binding domain of factor C. A novel secretory signal directs the secretion of SSCrFCES into the culture supernatant of Drosophila cells, and hence it is readily purified. By differential ultrafiltration followed by...
