Immunocytochemical Localization of Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide with Colloidal-Gold Probes in Different Target Cells

  • Chapter
Endotoxin

Abstract

The precise mechanisms involved in the endotoxin-induced shock are not yet clearly understood. A biphasic behaviour has been observed due to a direct interaction of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) with the membrane of target cells and an indirect activation of multiple homeostatic regulatory mechanisms (3).
