Bacterial lipopolysaccharides : structure, chemical synthesis, biogenesis and interaction with host cells

The bacterial lipopolysaccharide also known as endotoxin is exhaustively covered in the present work. Central emphasis is placed upon the fine chemical structure of the lipopolysaccharide and its significance for understanding their activity and function. In particular, the role it plays in the inte...
