title: [Role of lipopolysaccharide in the action of complement on gram negative bacteria].
abstract: In this review a short description of the methods for the activation of the complement system and data on the role of different structures of lipopolysaccharide of gram negative bacteria in this process are presented. Variants of complement-induced bacteriolysis are considered. Special attention is given to cholera infection and the role of Vibrio cholerae O139 polysaccharide in interaction with the complement.
