    1. Endotoxins are heat stable, toxic only at high doses, weakly immunogenic, and generally similar despite their source. They are capable of producing general systemic effects like fever, shock, blood coagulation, and inflammation. 2. Endotoxins indirectly cause biological effects by activating host molecules and systems, not directly. They can initially activate humoral systems and induce the release of endogenous pyrogens that cause fever. 3. Macrophages and monocytes can be affected by endotoxins binding to special receptors, triggering a complex that induces cytokine production and various downstream effects.
