What does the toxin Endotoxin do?
The amount of endotoxin in protein, peptide or antibody samples is measured by the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test with an endotoxin kit. The concentration of endotoxin in the test specimens is calculated by the LAL kit by chromogenic signal in the presence of endotoxin. This measurement is performed on a microplagin absorption reader at 405 nm. Protein and antibody samples are measured every 30 minutes. The importance of determining the level of endotoxin in evaluating the effectiveness of endotoxin removal methods as well as preventing endotoxic shocks and animals injected with endotoxin-contaminated proteins is very important.
Is endotoxin an exogenous pyrogen?
true
Is whooping cough endotoxin?
no it is exotoxin , as its a gram positve baceria
Is an allergen a antigen?
NO
Is an allergen an antigen?
NO
How is an allergy is different from an allergen?
An allergy is the reaction that the body will have, where as an allergen is something that causes the allergy to occur.
Is an endotoxin an A-B toxin?
The term "endotoxin" is a bit wonky. Originally, it was intended solely to mean a toxin(s) not secreted by the bacterium cell until after cell death. Since then, however, the term has come to refer to the cell wall components of Gram-negative bacteria, most specifically lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In the case of the term "endotoxin" referring to LPS, then, no -- LPS is a sole toxin (an "A"). However, when the more general meaning of the term "endotoxin" is used, the toxin released may be an A-B toxin.
What is endogenous endotoxin?
Endogenous endotoxin refers to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) that are produced by the body's own cells, particularly gut bacteria. These endotoxins can trigger an immune response and contribute to inflammation and other health issues when released into the bloodstream.
What does your immune system form when it comes in contact with an allergen?
antibodies are formed when the immune system comes in contact with the allergen.
What can Endotoxin in sterile injectable drugs cause?
Endotoxin in sterile injectable drugs can cause severe systemic inflammatory response known as endotoxemia, resulting in symptoms such as fever, chills, hypotension, and potentially fatal outcomes like septic shock. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure strict quality control measures to prevent endotoxin contamination in sterile injectable drugs.
What is the root in the word allergen?
The root in the word "allergen" is "allerg," which is derived from the Greek word "allergein," meaning "to react to differently."
Also known as hypersensitivity?
