TLR-13:- bacterial ribosomal RNA
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), also known as lipoglycans and endotoxins, are large molecules consisting of a lipid and
a polysaccharide composed of O-antigen, outer core and inner core joined by a covalent bond; they are found in
the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, and elicit strong immune responses in animals.
The term lipooligosaccharide ("LOS") is used to refer to a low-molecular-weight form of bacterial lipopolysaccharides
