Purified cells walls of Streptococcus mitis induced tumor necrosis factor in vitro in whole blood of both lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-sensitive OF1 and LPS-resistant C3H/HeJ mice. They were as effective as heat-killed bacteria in inducing death in both strains of mice sensitized with D-galactosamine. Lethality was suppressed by anti-tumor necrosis factor antibodies. The histopathophysiological findings in mice after challenge with LPS or gram-positive cell walls were indistinguishable.
缓症链球菌的纯化细胞壁可在体外诱导脂多糖(LPS)敏感的OF1小鼠和LPS耐受的C3H/HeJ小鼠全血中的肿瘤坏死因子产生。在D-半乳糖胺致敏的两种小鼠品系中,它们诱导死亡的效果与热灭活细菌相同。抗肿瘤坏死因子抗体可抑制致死性。用LPS或革兰氏阳性细胞壁攻击后小鼠的组织病理生理学结果无明显差异。
