Abstract excerpt
The biological activity of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) obtained from Proteus mirabilis smooth and rough strains was investigated. The tested endotoxins (differing in polysaccharide chain lenght) were isolated from wild S1959 strain as well as from its rough mutants Ra and Re. Induction of tumor necr...
