• Description: Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is a major immunostimulatory component of Gram-positive bacteria. LTA shares many of the biochemical and physiological properties of the LPS of gram-negative bacteria. LTA is responsible for causing gram-positive sepsis. Like LPS, LTA is an amphiphile formed by a hydrophilic polyphosphate polymer linked to a neutral glycolipid. LTA stimulates immune cells through TLR2 to produce TNF-α and other inflammatory cytokines.
