Lipopolysaccharides, from S. marcescens  (Synonyms: LPS, from Serratia marcescens)

Cat. No.: HY-D1056H
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Lipopolysaccharides, from S. marcescens (Serratia marcescens) are lipopolysaccharide endotoxins and TLR-4 activators derived from Serratia marcescens, classified as S-type LPS, which can activate pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP) of the immune system and induce cellular secretion of migrasomes. Lipopolysaccharides, from S. marcescens exhibit a typical three-part structure: O-antigen (O-antigen), core oligosaccharide (core oligosaccharide), and lipid A (Lipid A). Lipopolysaccharides, from S. marcescens induce NF-κB activation in mouse cells via Toll-like receptor (TLR4)/MD-2. The lipopolysaccharides of S. marcescens can induce apoptosis in host immune cells, thereby suppressing the host's innate immunity.
It is recommended to prepare a stock solution of ≥2 mg/mL and ensure that it is fully mixed and dissolved. Due to the adsorption characteristics of LPS, low adsorption centrifuge tubes should be used for aliquoting and storage.

Description

Lipopolysaccharides, from S. marcescens (Serratia marcescens) are lipopolysaccharide endotoxins and TLR-4 activators derived from Serratia marcescens, classified as S-type LPS, which can activate pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP) of the immune system and induce cellular secretion of migrasomes.

Lipopolysaccharides, from S. marcescens induce NF-κB activation in mouse cells via Toll-like receptor (TLR4)/MD-2. The lipopolysaccharides of S. marcescens can induce apoptosis in host immune cells, thereby suppressing the host's innate immunity[1][2].

IC50 & Target

TLR-4[2]

In Vitro

Note:
1. To maintain the integrity of LPS, it is recommended to store LPS solution in silanized containers. This is because LPS can adhere to plastics and certain types of glass, particularly at concentrations below 0.1 mg/mL. If concentration of LPS is higher than 1 mg/mL, this adsorption effect is relatively small, it is recommended to prepare ≥2 mg/mL stock solution and ensure sufficient mixing and dissolution. If using glass containers, ensure that the solution is thoroughly mixed for at least 30 minutes before use to redissolve any LPS that may have adsorbed to the tube walls.
2. LPS is a molecule capable of forming micelles of varying sizes in solution, and its molecular weight is not fixed. Both the stock solution and working solution can be prepared directly based on mass concentration (mg/mL, μg/mL, etc.).
3. Upon dissolution in water or PBS, LPS may form a uniformly turbid solution. For sterilization, DO NOT filter the stock solution directly. It is recommended to dilute the stock solution to the working concentration before sterilizing through a 0.22 μm filter membrane.

Lipopolysaccharides, from S. marcescens (lipid A extraction) induce NF-κB activation in mouse cells via TLR4/MD-2 but not TLR2, and stimulate the production of various inflammatory cytokines in peritoneal macrophages of C3H/HeN mice but not C3H/HeJ mice[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
