Definition
English
:
Lipid-containing
polysaccharides
which are
endotoxins
and important group-specific
antigens
. They are often derived from the
cell wall
of
gram-negative bacteria
and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts:
LIPID A
, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (
O ANTIGENS
). When derived from
Escherichia coli
,
lipopolysaccharides
serve as polyclonal B-cell
mitogens
commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed)
