Do endotoxins devoid of 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid exist?

M Caroff et al. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. .

Abstract

After treatment with aqueous, 50% hydrofluoric acid, a well-known dephosphorylating agent, the presence of 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid (KDO), an essential and characteristic constituent of endotoxins, can be readily demonstrated in reportedly KDO-deficient bacterial lipopolysaccharides.
