  • Certain chemical and immunological properties of the endotoxin from Vibrio anguillarum

    Creator:
    Abe, Patrick Masami
    Abstract:
    The Boivin agent from Vibrio anguillarum was extracted with the use of 0.25M trichloroacetic acid (TCA). Chemical analysis revealed that the endotoxin contained approximately 35.1% protein, 18.1% carbohydrate, 39.3% lipid, 1.8% glucosamine and evidence of ethanolamine. Sixteen different amino acids made up the protein. The aliphatic amino acid concentration was...

  • Bioactive and Biocompatible Coatings for Endotoxin Capture in Treatment of Sepsis

    Creator:
    Su, Jonathan
    Abstract:
    Sepsis is a blood infection caused by circulating pathogens and cell wall fragments that affects over 1 million patients per year in the United States. When bacterial cell membranes are lysed by antibiotics, cell wall fragments containing lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are released. As a result, the capture of LPS is critical...
