Pfeiffer described endotoxic in addition to exotoxic activities (Pfeiffer 1892), which include fever (Centanni 1942) and other deleterious effects. Between 1930 and 1940 the first efforts to isolate and enrich biologically active fragments of gram-negative bacteria were successful (Boivin and Mesrob...
When the mutant is delivered by injection into the hemocoel, the virulence is not reduced, evoking an intestinal cell target for the Dickeya Cyt proteins17. To better understand the role of D. dadantii Cyt toxins in its pathogenicity to insect, we defined the following strategy for the ...
additives produced by fermentation usingE. coliK-12 have the potential to be hazardous if LPS passes into the additive. The aim of this paper was to determine the extent of the risk to workers handling the additive, to the consumer and to the ...
The typical symptoms of local Gram-negative bacterial infections include inflammation, pain and mechanical hyper- sensitivity41,42. They were readily reproduced experimentally with intraplantar injections of purified E. coli LPS in WT mice (Fig. 7d,e). Consistent with a major role of TRPA1 as a...
There are two types of techniques for this test: the gel-clot techniques, which are based on gel formation, and the photometric techniques. The latter include a turbidimetric method, which is based on the development of turbidity after cleavage of an endogenous substrate, and a chromogenic method...
reagent are commercially available, or are in development. Theserecombinant reagentsutilize one or more recombinant zymogen proteases cloned from the natural clotting cascade of horseshoe crabs to detect and quantify endotoxins activity (see below). The b...

Most studies used the coarse fraction (PM10–2.5); however, two studies reported PM10, which would also include the fine fraction [14,21]. Higher concentrations of endotoxins are largely associated with coarser-size fractions in the literature (Figure 1). Reported endotoxin concentrations measured ...
Endotoxins include membrane components deriving from both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria including LPS and LTA. The sources of endotoxins in dairy cows might be various, including rumen, when cattle are fed diets containing high amounts of grain, or infected uterus and udder in the days...
