Journal ArticleDOI

Biochemistry of endotoxins.

TL;DR: Interaction of LPS with Polyvalent Cations and the Inner Core: Interaction of Chemotypes and the Outer Core.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gram-negative endotoxin: an extraordinary lipid with profound effects on eukaryotic signal transduction.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the essentials of endotoxin biochemistry and presents recent experiments aimed at identifying surface receptors, signal‐transducing elements, transcriptional factors, and key intracellular targets involved in the response of animal cells to endotoxins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recognition and plasma clearance of endotoxin by scavenger receptors.

TL;DR: In vivo studies show that scavenger-receptor ligands greatly inhibit hepatic uptake of lipid IVA in mice, and scavenger receptors expressed on macrophages may have an important role in the clearance and detoxification of endotoxin in animals.
