This volume is based on the proceedings of the International
Symposium on Bacterial Endotoxins held in Japan. May 11-14. 1988
and sponsored by the International Endotoxin Society and the
International Society for Immuno pharmacology. Speakers and
participants of this symposium provided new information concerning
fundamental and clinical aspects of endotoxin research conducted
over the last half decade or so. Advances have been made in
understanding the structure and nature of endotoxin molecules and
their effects on a wide variety of both cellular and subcellular
aspects, of immunity. metabolism and physiology. both in vivo and
in vitro. Endotoxins are constituents of gram negative bacteria.
Since their original discovery in the nineteenth century. many
laboratories studied their chemical composition. their physico- and
immunochemica1 properties. as well as their pharmacological and
physiological effects on the host. Much is now known about the
chemical structure of the endotoxins. There is also a grow ing body
of information concerning the multiple effects of endotoxins on the
host including immune mechanisms. Some effects have been found to
be benefi cial to the host and endotoxins are being used more
frequently to induce important mediators of immunity as well as
increasing resistance against infections by many microorganisms as
well as inhibiting growth of tumors in experimental animal models
and in man."
