| Description | Lipopolysaccharides, Escherichiacoli (E. coli O111:B4) is a unique component of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria, consisting of three regions: lipid A, oligosaccharide core and O-specific polysaccharide (O-antigen). Lipopolysaccharides, Escherichiacoli helps maintain the integrity of the outer cell membrane and protects bacteria from damage by bile salts and lipid antibiotics. Lipopolysaccharides, Escherichiacoli is a highly immunogenic antigen that can enhance immune responses and can be used for inflammation model construction. |
