Abstract
Circulating endotoxin levels and IgG antibodies to a range of Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) (endotoxins) of different sizes and structures were measured daily in three cases of septic shock. There was an inverse relationship between endotoxin levels and cross-reactive antibodies to the core glycolipid (CGL) region of lipopolysaccharide. This suggests that antibody to LPS-CGL was initially consumed by a superabundance of endotoxin, and that a resurgence of intrinsic anti-LPS-CGL antibody levels may be associated with a reduction of circulating endotoxin. The implications of these findings for passive antibody therapy of septic shock are discussed.
