Dear Sailesh,

Using 1-4 micrograms/ml LPS definitely can induce inflammation. You may need to follow the interleukin kit procedure to get results.

Mohamed Hamed Abdelaziz

LPS binds to TLR on macrophages, stimulates phosphorylation cascade to produce inflammasome, which lead to maturation of IL-1b.

You can use LPS alone in consentration 100 ng/ml up to 1 ug/ml, or use in combination with IFN-g 50 ng/ml + LPS 20 ng/ml.
