## Abstract Lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) is a 60 kDa acute phase glycoprotein capable of binding to LPS of Gram‐negative bacteria and facilitating its interaction with cellular receptors. This process is thought to be of great importance in systemic inflammatory reactions such as septic
