Exaggerated responses by phagocytes to bacterial endotoxin [lipopolysaccharide (LPS)] may result in the sepsis syndrome. ... Among their many functions, the beta2 integrins are phagocytic receptors that bind a variety of bacterial products, including LPS. We hypothesize that this binding results ... 0 (endotoxin receptor)
