This report concerns the effect of bacterial endotoxin [lipopolysaccharide(LPS) and lipid A] on cultured human fetal astrocytes. Exposure to 1 micrograms/ml LPS or lipid A caused a striking stimulation of the rate of proliferation of the cells. The effect was most pronounced with exponentially growi
