Antibodies which immunoreact with lapine lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP)

Antibodies that immunoreact with denatured lapine lipopolysaccharide binding protein and with a synthetic polypeptide containing about 6 to about 39 amino acid residues corresponding to all or a portion of the sequence of the amino-terminal 39 residues of lapine lipopolysaccharide binding protein, said 39 amino-terminal residues having the amino acid residue sequence, from left to right and in the direction from amino-terminus to carboxy-terminus, of ##STR7## wherein each of said parenthesized amino acid residues is an alternative to the immediately preceding residue in said sequence.
