The chemotactic effect of Bacteroides fragilis lipopolysaccharide
Reviews of Infectious Diseases
|March 1, 1979
Abstract:
The atypical Bacteroides fragilis lipopolysaccharide is chemotactic for polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The chemotactic activity is mediated by complement activated through the alternative pathway. This mediator has been isolated. It is a polypeptide with a molecular weight of 16,000 and is most likely the complement component C5a.
