Lipoglycans represent a special type of lipopoly-saccharide that differs in structure from the well-known gram-negative bacteria lipopolysaccharide. After briefly describing their most important characteristics, the authors take into consideration the in vitro interaction between lipoglycans from Acholeplasma granularum, Acholeplasma oculi, and Acholeplasma axanthum and human leukocytes in terms of production of procoagulant activity. The results obtained show that the examined lipoglycans possess, similarly to lipopolysaccharides, the capacity to induce the production of procoagulant activity, thromboplastin-like, from human mononuclear cells. However, the pathophysiological significance of this endotoxin-like activity remains to be established.
脂聚糖是一种特殊类型的脂多糖，其结构与著名的革兰氏阴性菌脂多糖不同。在简要描述了它们最重要的特征之后，作者考虑了颗粒无胆甾原体、眼无胆甾原体和黄无胆甾原体的脂聚糖与人类白细胞之间的体外相互作用，涉及促凝血活性的产生。所得结果表明，所检测的脂聚糖与脂多糖类似，具有诱导人类单核细胞产生促凝血活性（类凝血活酶）的能力。然而，这种内毒素样活性的病理生理学意义仍有待确定。
