Figure 7.
Semi-quantitative LAL assay to estimate endotoxin neutralization following the addition of defensin analogues at a ratio (w/w 1:5). Images show inverted test tubes of endotoxin control and tested defensin analogues. The surface of the generated gels of LPS E. coli K-235 at a concentration (0.2 EU/mL) is shown in the control tubes. Images are representative of 2 independent experiments (photos in this figure were taken by Krishnakumari and Taniya Mary Binny).
