Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and characterization of murine lipopolysaccharide-binding protein.

TL;DR: Mouse LBP, like rabbit and human LBPs, was found to be an acute-phase protein and promoted the binding of LPS to monocytes and enhanced the sensitivity of monocytes to LPS at least 100-fold.
Journal Article
Activation of endothelial cells by endotoxin: direct versus indirect pathways and the role of CD14.
TL;DR: The whole blood effect begins with LPS activation of monocytes via cell membrane CD14 and results in endothelial cell activation by the effects of TNF and IL-1, and the monokine-mediated endothelium cell activation is referred as to the indirect pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions of bacterial lipopolysaccharide with acute phase rabbit serum
TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that the ability of rabbit serum to form SAA-1 and SAA -2 complexes was increased with the amount of LPS in the rabbit serum, and that SAA and other acute-phase reactants may modulate the biologic activity.
Journal Article
Interactions of bacterial lipopolysaccharide with acute-phase rabbit serum and isolation of two forms of rabbit serum amyloid A.
TL;DR: The results suggest that SAA and perhaps other acute-phase reactants may modulate the biologic activity of LPS, and seems to be analogous to the LPS-high-density-lipoprotein complexes that form in normal serum except that the latter complexes do not contain serum amyloid A.
Journal ArticleDOI
New therapeutic targets revealed through investigations of innate immunity.
TL;DR: Evidence demonstrates the utility of anti-CD14 monoclonal antibody therapy in septic shock and the potential value of targeting intracellular kinases to modulate harmful cellular responses during sepsis.
