title: [Lipopolysaccharide-protein complexes of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria].
abstract: The evidence for occurring lipopolysaccharide-protein complexes in the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria has been summarized. The composition and supramolecular structure of these complexes as well as their functions in microbial envelope and substantial role in membrane organization have been discussed. The biological properties of the complexes as endotoxins and O-specific antigens have been considered.
