  • Title: Relative potencies of four reference endotoxin standards as measured by the Limulus amoebocyte lysate and USP rabbit pyrogen tests.
    Author: Weary ME, Donohue G, Pearson FC, Story K.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 1980 Dec; 40(6):1148-51. PubMed ID: 7006505.
    Abstract:
    Four commonly used reference endotoxin standards, Escherichia coli O113:H10:K0, E. coli O55:B5, Salmonella abortusequi, and Shigella dysenteriae were compared by the USP rabbit pyrogen and the Limulus amoebocyte lysate tests. By the rabbit pyrogen test, S. abortus equi was identified as the most potent endotoxin, followed closely by E. coli O113:H10:K0 and E. coli O55:B5.
