MeSH definition : 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);
MeSH synonym : lipoglycans; Lipopolysaccharide;
MeSH annotation : coordinate IM with specific bacterium (IM) if pertinent; DF: LPS; oordinate with specific bacterium if pertinent;
