Previous analysis of hybrid progeny derived from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) responder and nonresponder inbred mouse strains demonstrated that a single genetic locus controlled responsiveness to LPS. Using a differential functional screening approach, we report the isolation of a cDNA that has sequence homology to a GTP-binding protein. Expression of the cDNA in splenic B cells of C3H/HeJ nonresponder, endotoxin-resistant mice resulted in polyclonal B-cell activation in response to LPS stimulation. Thus a GTP-binding protein may be involved in LPS stimulation in B cells and perhaps other cell types.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.
