Stimulation of human monocyte chemiluminescence by staphylococcal lipoteichoic acid.
Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from Staphylococcus saprophyticus strains S1 and S35 was shown to be a potent stimulator of human monocyte chemiluminescence, whereas human granulocytes were not activated. Data on the chemical analysis of these LTA-preparations were given.
