Zusammenfassung:A purified, detoxified endotoxin contg. no detactable 2-keto3- deoxyoctanoate, 350-475 nM/mg P and 1700-2000 nM/mg fatty acids was prepd. and it can be used as a B-cell mitogen and as an immune adjuvant. Thus, endotoxin was extd. from bacteria by MeOH-CHCl3 pptn. and the crude lipid A ext. was detoxified by dissolving it in acetone. The detoxified endotoxin was then purified on Sephadex, DEAE-C=ellulose, or a silica gel. column. This purified, detoxified endotoxin enhanced the immune response of BALB/c mice to SRBC as compared with SRBC alone or SRBC and standard endotoxin.
