The structure of the free lipid A from R. vannielii ATCC 17,100 was elucidated. It consists of a central .beta.-1'',6-linked glucosamine disaccharide which is not substituted by phosphate. About 30% of the disaccharide molecules are substituted with mannopyranose in .beta.-1,4''-linkage to the non-reducing glucosamine. The reducing glucosamine can be directly reduced with NaBH4, indicating that this glucosamine is not substituted at C1 or its substituent was removed during the preparation of free lipid A or is removed during reduction with NaBH4. The following formula shows the backbone structure of the free lipid A from R. vannielii ATCC 17,100: .beta.-Manp(1.sbd.- .fwdarw. 4)-.beta.-GlcpN(1 .fwdarw. 6)GlcpN. 3-(R)-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid is linked to the amino group of the reducing glucosamine. The residue at the amino group of the non-reducing glucosamine was not identified. The hydroxyl groups of the central disaccharide are acylated with 3-(tetradecanoyloxy)-tetradecanoic acid, 3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid, .DELTA.14-docosenoic acid (.DELTA.14-C22:1) and acetyl groups. The hydroxyl groups of the mannose are not substituted.
