TLR4-dependent IL-6 production of mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) induced by highly active and pure Kdo2-Lipid A (Prod. No. AG-CU1-0001). No remaining agonistic activity (IL-6) in TLR4 KO BMDM is detectable when up to 50µg/ml Kdo2-Lipid A is added.

Strong activator (<10ng/ml) of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Does not activate TLR2 or other TLRs as determined with splenocytes and macrophages from TLR4 deficient mice. No further re-extraction required. Can be used for priming of the inflammasome at a concentration of 50-100ng/ml. Isolated and purified from E. coli K12 heptose-deficient strain WBB06 (Re mutant) [1] by a modification of the PCP extraction method [2,3], converted to the uniform sodium salt form [4] and dissolved in sterile pyrogen-free double distilled water.

Description
- Defined substructure of the Re mutant of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) [1].
- Endotoxin activity equal to Re LPS [1].
- Strong activator (<10ng/ml) of macrophages via toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) [1, 2, 3, 4, 9].
- Does not activate TLR2 [5] or other TLRs as determined with splenocytes and macrophages from TLR4 deficient mice by IL-6 ELISA [1,4].
- Facilitates the structural analysis of its complexes with signaling receptors, such as TLR4/MD2 [1,2] and CD14 [7].
- Kdo2-Lipid A was used in a recent animal atherosclerosis model [6].
- Induces sphingolipid biosynthesis, which is essential for induction of autophagy [8].
