Popis: Endotoxin is a potent stimulator of the inflammatory response and is believed to initiate the pathology in Gram-negative sepsis. Agents are being developed that bind and neutralize or block the effects of endotoxin, with the goal of improving outcome in the treatment of sepsis. Strategies discussed in this article include anti-LPS antibodies, LPS binding proteins and lipoproteins, polymyxin B conjugates, lipid A analogues, and extracorporeal techniques for endotoxin removal.
