Heat Killed E. coli 0111:B4
HKEB is a heat killed preparation of the gram negative bacterium, E.coli O111:B4. Cell wall components from this bacterium, such as peptidoglycan (PGN) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), are recognized by the toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR4 [1].
It has been demonstrated that HKEB can stimulate TLR2 and induce the production of NF-κB and pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-8 [2]. HKEB is a potent stimulator of TLR2 and TLR4.
