RESUMO

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and ratio-detoxified LPS (Rd-LPS) from Salmonella typhimurium were analysed for their ability to stimulate murine peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) and macrophages. Rd-LPS induced much more inflammatory response as compared to LPS. PEC numbers/mouse obtained were significantly higher (3-fold) in response to Rd-LPS than LPS. The haemorrhage was induced in mice by LPS but not by Rd-LPS. Activation of macrophages in vivo by Rd-LPS was significantly higher as compared to LPS. This was evident from the increase levels of their lysosomal enzymes and cytokines. Rd-LPS induced 10-fold increase in acid phosphatase contents of macrophages as compared to controls while only 7-fold increase was obtained with LPS. Arylsulfatase and beta-glucuronidase increased by about 2-fold by Rd-LPS and LPS. Macrophages incubated with Rd-LPS in vitro showed 16-fold and 20-fold increase in the cell associated levels of arylsulfatase and beta-glucuronidase respectively as compared to unstimulated cells. On the other hand, only 6-fold increase was observed in response to LPS in the levels of both the enzymes. TNF-[symbol: see text] and IL-1 secreted by macrophages increased considerably in response to Rd-LPS as compared to those released by LPS. Rd-LPS, thus seems to be a better immunomodulator than untreated LPS.

RESUMO

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from S. typhimurium on exposure to gamma-radiation resulted in decrease in toxicity and was less mitogenic, Silver stained profiles of irradiated LPS on polyacrylamide gels revealed complete loss of its heteropolysaccharides which was confirmed further by analysing lipid A and LPS from Salmonella minnesota Re mutants on SDS-PAGE. Glucosamine and 2-keto 3-deoxy-octonate(Kdo) contents were significantly decreased on treatment. Lipid A obtained by removal of heteropolysaccharides from LPS was less toxic on exposure to gamma radiations.
