Talk:Lipopolysaccharide

message: From the article: "AND SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH THAT OF THOSE FOUND IN THE CELL WALL OF GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA"
G- bacteria don't have cell walls. Or am I missing something?
:You are missing something. Gram negative bacteria DO have cell walls, these cell walls are just different than those of gram positive organisms. Tuckerekcut (talk) 15:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Biochemical 

message: I am not convinced that these articles should be merged, LPS is not synonymous with endotoxin, LPS is merely one of many molecules that protrude from the surface of a bacterium. It is true that in clinically important bacteria it elicits an immune response, but in other situations the interactions are quite different. For example in rhizobia--legume symbiosis LPS on rhizobia is one of the determinants of host range. Onco_p53 05:55, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have changed my mind, go a head and merge, but have endotoxin as the redirect and I will write something about non-clinical interactions. Onco_p53 06:02, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

text: For some reason the biological aspect here is neglected. Endotoxins exist but LPS is an essential Structure in Bacteria, and not even the whole LPS is responsible for the toxic activity --81.28.129.97 17:38, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge 

message: The current article states "LPS ...induces a strong response from normal animal immune systems." Is this accurate? It goes against my current knowledge of endotoxins, including LPS.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.80.123.34 (talk) 11:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Immunogenic? 

message: Hello,
I am currently studying for my PhD Comprehensive exam (aka qualifications exam or candidacy exam).
I thought a great way to study would be to put the material I read/study on to Wikipedia! LPS and Lipid A are subjects that I am covering. So in the next two weeks I will be dumping some content on to this article.
If anyone (or everyone) who knows anything on the subject, or just has a knack for writing would like to edit/reject/clean up/format/'make legible' anything I write, i'd appreciate it. I have gotten used to writing for professors and I don't think I am very good at writing to a general audience. Thanks!

thread_title: Horseshoe crab

message: Happy new year everybody.   The Endotoxin article was pretty terrible (lots of unsourced statements) and had been for a long time.  It overlapped with this article almost completely, so I merged them.   Likewise I stumbled over the Lipooligosaccharide article which was never incorporated here - it should have been split out only after this article became unwieldy.   I need to go do some blending and I intend to add some assay information.   That should do for today. Jytdog (talk) 21:24, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mergers today 

message: Dr. Gundry's 2017 book The Plant Paradox covers LPS and its negative effects on the human body and its links to obesity.  How can we reference that book in this article?  Obviously, the book in question is not a research paper, yet I feel it would help the layman (such as myself) who comes to this page for further information.

thread_title:  How to reference a popular book 

message: Early in the article, it says that parts of the molecule are attached by covalent bond, but of course they are. It seems so obvious that it doesn’t need mentioning, similar to saying, “The molecule is made of atoms.” Other types of bonds wouldn’t make sense. My knowledge is mostly chemistry, not biology, so I won’t remove that line but someone else may do so after consideration. WiggyWamWam (talk) 19:27, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
