Lipopolysaccharides from Escherichia coli O26:B6

Description

• Application: Lipopolysaccharides from Escherichia coli 026:B6 was used to elicit the secretion of cytokines by human PBMC[1], murine bone marrow dendritic cells[2] and rat astrocytes.[3]
• Biochem/physiol Actions: LPS is a major constituent of the cell wall of most gram negative bacteria. It is a highly immunogenic antigen with the ability to enhance immune responses to soluble antigens. LPS also acts as a specific mitogen for bone marrow derived B lymphocytes from mice, rabbits, chickens, cows, hamsters, and humans.
• Reconstitution: Lipopolysaccharides are supplied as lyophilized, γ-irradiated powders. To reconstitute, add 1 ml sterile balanced salt solution or tissue culture medium to the vial (1 mg) and gently swirl until the powder dissolves. Reconstituted product may be further diluted to desired working concentrations using sterile balanced salt solution or tissue culture medium.
