Gary B. Dunphy scite author profile

Three varieties of Xenorhabdus nematophilus subsp. nematophilus released lipopolysaccharide (LPS) during bacteraemia in larval Galleria mellonella. Larval serum triggered release of LPS from the bacterial envelope. LPS activated the plasmatocytes and eventually damaged the haemocytes. LPS and its lipid A portion bound to the insect haemocytes through D-glucosaminebinding lectins on the haemocyte surfaces. The toxicity of LPS resides in the fatty acids of the lipid A moiety.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
