Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
lipopolysaccharide Escherichia coli serotype O55:B5 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is used with a potency of 10 EU/ng, structure analysis, reconstitution of lyophilized LPS into solution. Factor C is activated through lipopolysaccharide. The state of aggregation of LPS impacts factor C activation, particularly in the presence of select salts and non-ionic surfactants that are commonly incorporated into pharmaceutical formulations. Analysis of aggregation status of LPS in aqueous solution using angle-dependent static and dynamic light scattering with and without chelating salts and polysorbate surfactants, and its correlation with activation of factor C, overview. Modulating effects of salts and surfactants on activation of factor C is associated with changes in the LPS aggregation Limulus polyphemus
