Structural requirements for initiation of Limulus amebocyte lysate gelation by lipoteichoic acids
Lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) of varying chemical composition from five streptococcal species and one lactobacillus species initiated gelation of Limu lus amebocyte lysate. Preincubation with antisera specific for the poly(glycerol phosphate) (PGP) chain or, when appropriate, with antisera, specific for a carbohydrate substituent inhibited gelation initiated by lipoteichoic acid, but did not inhibi...
متن کاملLipoteichoic acids from Streptococcus sanguis.
Two lipoteichoic acids, membrane (MLTA) and wall (WLTA), have been purified from Streptococcus sanguis by Sepharose and Ecteola-cellulose column chromatographies and concanavalin A-conjugated Sepharose affinity column chromatography. The teichoic acids were homogenous as judged by disc gel electrophoresis, column chromatography, and double diffusion tests. Both MLTA and WLTA consisted of glycer...
متن کاملBiological effects of lipoteichoic acids.
Pneumococcal lipoteichoic acid (Forssman antigen) added to the medium of growing pneumococcal cultures caused chain formation, prevented culture lysis in the stationary phase of growth, and inhibited lysis by penicillin and by the pneumococcal bacteriophage Dp-1.
متن کاملSynthesis of Staphylococcus aureus lipoteichoic acid derivatives for determining the minimal structural requirements for cytokine induction.
For the investigation of the minimal structural requirements for cytokine induction, Staphylococcus aureus lipoteichoic acid derivatives with two, three, four, and five glycerophosphate backbone moieties, carrying each a d-alanyl residue, were needed. Based on two different glycerophosphate building blocks and 6b-O-phosphitylated gentiobiosyl diacylglycerol the desired target molecules (compoun...
متن کاملStructural Requirements for the Procoagulant Activity of Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids, especially extracellular RNA, are exposed following tissue- or vessel damage and have previously been shown to activate the intrinsic blood coagulation pathway in vitro and in vivo. Yet, no information on structural requirements for the procoagulant activity of nucleic acids is available. A comparison of linear and hairpin-forming RNA- and DNA-oligomers revealed that all tested o...
