Strain A mice were shown to be considerably more susceptible to lethal effects of endotoxin lipolysaccharide (LPS) than mice of several other strains. Complexes of sublethal quantities of LPS and sheep red blood cells were synergistically toxic for strain A mice. Separate administration of sheep red blood cells and heat-killed salmonellae, in either order and as long as 24 hr apart, also proved to be synergistically lethal for strain A mice, but not for RIII animals studied comparatively. Sheep red blood cell lysates possessed the ability of the intact cells in forming lethal combinations for strain A mice with killed salmonellae. Strain A red blood cell-killed salmonellae complexes were also lethal for strain A mice, but less so then complexes made with sheep red blood cells. A x RIIIF1 hybrid animals showed the same resistance characteristics as the resistant RIIIF1 hybrid animals showed the same resistance characteristics as the resistant RIII parental strain. Possible explanations for these findings are suggested, and their relevance to an immunological mode of action of endotoxin lethality is discussed.
