A large molecule consisting of lipids and sugars joined by chemical bonds. It is a major component of the cell wall of gram‐negative bacteria, a type of endotoxin, and an important group‐specific antigen.
Substance consisting of polysaccaride and lipid.
Bacterial derived antigenic material that promotes an immune response in animals and humans.
A complex molecule containing both a lipid and a polysaccharide component. Lipopolysaccharides are constituents of the cell walls of Gram-negative bacteria and are important in determining the antigenic properties of these bacteria.
