Trimester Report on Contract Number N00014-89-J-3073 (Massachusetts General Hospital)

Abstract

Work Summary: A. Purification of LPS binding factors in tolerant serum by affinity chromatography; B. Purification of the LPS binding factor by ultracentifugation and chromatography using our radioimmunoassay; C. Neutralization of LPS by tolerant serum as assessed by tumor necrosis factor production -- In continuation of our studies involving LPS and the macrophage membrane, we have set up the assay as described in the original grant and measured the production of TNF by a murine macrophage cell line. LPS was incubated in each serum and then exposed to RAW264.7 cells for four hours, at which time supernatants were harvested and assayed for TNF.
