Anti-endotoxin (anti-lipid-A) antibodies.
Anti-lipid-A, anti-endotoxin, antibodies have been measured by a passive haemolysis test using antigen from an E. coli Re mutant. Titres in the normal population are low but do rise in situations in which there has been gram-negative sepsis. Absence of raised titres in other situations has profound implications.
