endotoxins
endotoxins Toxins produced by bacteria as an integral part of the cell, so they cannot be separated by filtration; unlike exotoxins, they do not usually stimulate antitoxin formation but the antibodies that they induce act directly on the bacteria. They are relatively stable to heat compared with exotoxins.
