  2. Lipopolysaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipopolysaccharide

    Lipopolysaccharides can have substantial impacts on human health, primarily through interactions with the immune system. LPS is a potent activator of the immune system and is a pyrogen (agent that causes fever). [4] In severe cases, LPS can trigger a brisk host response and multiple types of acute organ failure [5] which can lead to septic ...

  3. Lipopolysaccharide binding protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipopolysaccharide_binding...

    Lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LBP gene. [5] [6]LBP is a soluble acute-phase protein that binds to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (or LPS) to elicit immune responses by presenting the LPS to important cell surface pattern recognition receptors called CD14 and TLR4.

  4. Neutrophil extracellular traps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrophil_extracellular_traps

    Vital NETosis can be stimulated by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), other "bacterial products, TLR4-activated platelets, or complement proteins in tandem with TLR2 ligands." [ 12 ] Vital NETosis is made possible through the blebbing of the nucleus, resulting in a DNA-filled vesicle that is exocytosed and leaves the plasma membrane intact. [ 12 ]

  5. Lipoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipoprotein

    Lipopolysaccharide, or LPS, is the major pathogenic factor on the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria has a similar component named Lipoteichoic acid, or LTA. HDL has the ability to bind LPS and LTA, creating HDL-LPS complexes to neutralize the harmful effects in the body and clear the LPS from the body. [9]

  6. Human skin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_skin

    The human skin is the outer covering of the body and is the largest organ of the integumentary system. The skin has up to seven layers of ectodermal tissue guarding muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs. Human skin is similar to most of the other mammals' skin, and it is very similar to pig skin.

    In total, the researchers found 16 plastic fibers and particles in the tissues. The smallest were slimmer than the diameter of a human red blood cell, which measures about 8 micrometers. The most ...

  8. Pathogen-associated molecular pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathogen-associated...

    [11] [12] Microbes have two main strategies in which they try to avoid the immune system, either by masking lipid A or directing their LPS towards an immunomodulatory receptor. [11] Peptidoglycan (PG) is also found within the membrane walls of gram-negative bacteria [13] and is recognized by TLR2, which is usually in a heterodimer of with TLR1 ...
