This product is a 0.2 um filtered aqueous solution containing 1 mg/mL of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from E. coli serotype O127:B8. This LPS serotype has been used in studies of septic shock, to induce neutrophils, to induce NOS in rat brain and induce PAF synthesis in rat glomerular mesangial cells.

脂多糖（LPS）是革兰氏阴性菌细胞壁的特征组分。LPS及其脂质A部分可通过能够识别常见的病原体相关分子模式（PAMP）的Toll样受体蛋白家族成员Toll样受体4（TLR4）刺激先天性免疫系统细胞。

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are localized in the outer layer of the membrane and are, in noncapsulated strains, exposed on the cell surface. They contribute to the integrity of the outer membrane, and protect the cell against the action of bile salts and lipophilic antibiotics.

The LPS used to prepare the solution have been phenol-extracted and chromatographically purified by gel filtration. Lipopolysaccharides prepared by phenol extraction contain up to 60% RNA and less than 1% protein. Subsequent purification by gel filtration chromatography removes much of protein present in the phenol-extracted LPS, but leaves a product that still contains 10-20% nucleic acids. Further purification using ion exchange chromatography yields an LPS product which contains <1% protein and <1% RNA.
