Endotoxin protein: a B-cell mitogen and polyclonal activator of C3H/HeJ lymphocytes
Abstract
A cell wall protein that is ordinarily complexed to the lipopolysaccharide endotoxin in gram-negative bacteria has been separated by the use of aqueous phenol. The protein is active as a B-cell mitogen and polyclonal activator of murine lymphocytes including the C3H/HeJ strain which is a nonresponder to lipoplysaccharide or lipid A.
