Lipopolysaccharides from Salmonella enterica serotype enteritidis
SIGMA/L6011 - purified by phenol extraction
Synonym: LPS
MDL Number: MFCD00131520
Product Type: Chemical
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are localized in the outer layer of the membrane and are, in noncapsulated strains, exposed on the cell surface. They contribute to the integrity of the outer membrane, and protect the cell against the action of bile salts and lipophilic antibiotics.

| biological source | Salmonella enterica (Serotype enteritidis) |
| color | white to faint yellow |
| form | lyophilized powder |
| impurities | <3% Protein (Lowry) |
| purified by | phenol extraction |
| Quality Level | 200  |
| shipped in | ambient |
| solubility | water: 0.90-1.10 mg/mL, slightly hazy to turbid, colorless to faintly yellow |
| storage temp. | 2-8°C |
| Application: | Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) are characteristic components of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. LPS and its lipid A moiety stimulate cells of the innate immune system by the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are localized in the outer layer of the membrane and are, in noncapsulated strains, exposed on the cell surface. They contribute to the integrity of the outer membrane, and protect the cell against the action of bile salts and lipophilic antibiotics. |
| General description: | This product is phenol extracted from Salmonella enteritidis. The source strain is ATCC 13076. Lipopolysaccharide from Salmonella enteritidis is mutagenic in murine spleen cells and causes a plaque-forming response in those cells. |

| Packaging: | 25, 100 mg in glass bottle |
| Preparation Note: | The product is soluble in water (5 mg/ml) or cell culture medium (1 mg/ml) yielding a hazy, faint yellow solution. A more concentrated, though still hazy, solution (20 mg/ml) has been achieved in aqueous saline after vortexing and warming to 70-80 oC. Lipopolysaccharides are molecules that form micelles in every solvent. Hazy solutions are observed in water and phosphate buffered saline. Organic solvents do not give clearer solutions. Methanol yields a turbid suspension with floaters, while water yields a homogeneously hazy solution. |
