Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-responsive and LPS-defective strains of C3H mice did not differ in the capacity to make an antibody response to type III pneumococcal polysaccharide or in the degree of thymus-derived suppressor cell (Ts) activity generated following exposure to type III pneumococcal polysaccharide. However, treatment with monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) abolished the expression of Ts function in LPS-responsive but not LPS-defective mice. Since this effect was elicited by different preparations of MPL, it appears to be a general property of MPL mediated by direct action of MPL on activated Ts.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008050 Lipid A Lipid A is the biologically active component of lipopolysaccharides. It shows strong endotoxic activity and exhibits immunogenic properties.
D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
