Summary Introduction
To explain:
The situation in which the body’s defensive cytokines like tumor necrosis factor, interleukins, and platelet activating factor can be life-threatening.
Introduction:
The body produces various types of immune responses when it gets affected by various types of pathogens or foreign invasion. Endotoxins are the harmful chemicals present on the outer layer of bacteria containing lipids and polysaccharides. These endotoxins that are released by the bacteria cause the host body to release cytokines and other chemicals like IL’s and various other factors.
