molecule in Gram-negative bacteria triggering strong immune responses

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), also known as endotoxin, is a large molecule found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. It plays a crucial role in the structural integrity of the bacteria and can trigger strong immune responses in humans, often leading to inflammation and, in severe cases, septic shock.
