LPSbindendes
LPSbindendes is a descriptive term used for molecules with high affinity for lipopolysaccharide (LPS). It does not denote a single protein or compound, but a broad category that can include host-derived proteins, recombinant constructs, peptides, polymers, and small molecules capable of binding LPS in solution or at interfaces. The concept is commonly applied in immunology, biochemistry, and pharmaceutical science to describe agents that sequester endotoxin.
Binding characteristics of LPSbindendes often focus on the lipid A region of LPS, where complexes form that
Endogenous examples linked to LPSbindendes include LPS-binding protein (LBP), CD14, and MD-2, which participate in LPS
Applications of LPSbindendes span experimental biology, diagnostic development, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. In the lab, they are
