Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reduce the immune toxicity of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by gamma irradiation. LPS was gamma-irradiated at the various doses of 20, 100 and 200 kGy and then evaluated on the immune toxicity through the cell proliferation, nitricoxide production and cytokine release. Cell proliferation significantly decreased in the intact LPS treated groups, whereas gamma-irradiated LPS treated group were not reduced the cell proliferation. Similarly, the production of nitric oxide and cytokine showed the high levels in the intact LPS treated group. However, gamma-irradiated LPS treated group remarkably decreased the production of nitric oxide and cytokine in dose-dependent manner. Therefore, gamma irradiation may effective method to reduce the immune toxicity of LPS.
