Endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides, LPSs) are components of the envelope of Gram-negative bacteria. These molecules, responsible for both advantageous and harmful biological activities of these microorganisms, are highly immunogenic and directly involved in numerous bacterial diseases in humans such as Gram-negative sepsis.
