Abstract

The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of S. typhimurium has been shown to be significantly detoxified after in vivo irradiation at 500 krad. Radiation is thus a useful method for converting endotoxin into toxoid. The structural alterations in the detoxified LPS are shown to be mainly in the lipid A molecule, resulting in the loss of β-hydroxymyristic acid.
