Induction of procoagulant activity in human leukocytes with lipoglycans from mycoplasmas. 1987

G Miragliotta, and G Barone, and R A Monno, and D Fumarola, and P F Smith

Lipoglycans from mycoplasmas possess the ability to induce the elaboration of procoagulant activity. This represents a third endotoxic property for these polymers, in addition to the pyrogenicity and clotting of Limulus lysate reported previously. Lipoglycans from three species of Acholeplasma (A. axanthum, A. granularum, and A. oculi) stimulated the elaboration in vitro of procoagulant activity by human mononuclear cells to differing extents. Two serotypes, 3 and 4, of Ureaplasma urealyticum also exhibited this stimulatory activity. The activities of lipoglycans tested were, in decreasing order, A. oculi greater than U. urealyticum type 4 greater than A. axanthum greater than U. urealyticum type 3 greater than A. granularum.

D007962 Leukocytes White blood cells. These include granular leukocytes (BASOPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and NEUTROPHILS) as well as non-granular leukocytes (LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES).

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
