Mean endotoxin level in organ culture medium of discarded grafts was 1.68±5.76, with 71 samples being below and 42 above the threshold of 1.0 U/ml called endotoxin-negative and endotoxin-positive ...

Turning tides for endotoxin testing The drug industry may finally phase out using horseshoe crab blood. What took so long?

Endotoxin refers to a component of the outer cell membrane of Gram-negative bacteria called lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS is the biologically active portion of naturally occurring endotoxin ...

Endotoxin-free expression: Lipopolysaccharides, commonly found in the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria, contribute to endotoxin levels after cell lysis.

A recombinant endotoxin-neutralizing protein (ENP) from Limulus polyphemus and a monoclonal IgM anti-lipid A antibody (HA-1A) were compared in a rat model of Escherichia coli sepsis.

Lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin) is one such substance, occurring in the outer membrane of certain bacteria. A team of scientists has now described the first endotoxin immunosensor in plants.

Podcast: Turning tides for endotoxin testing The drug industry might finally phase out using horseshoe crab blood. What took so long?

The horseshoe crab is a living fossil, but it supplies factors that are still crucial to endotoxin tests. Crab protection, then, is a biomedical priority, at least until animal-free alternatives ...

Have you ever wondered why endotoxin testing is crucial? Endotoxins are toxic substances found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, and they can cause severe reactions in humans, including ...
