Abstract excerpt
The dissociation of the highly aggregated form of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Gram-negative bacteria to the monomeric (or soluble) form is though to be the initial step in the activation of responding cells (macrophages, B-cells, neutrophils, monocytes, and endothelial cells) by LPS. This process is presently not adequately understood. Using the equilibrium dialysis apparatus and a highly purified and...
