It is intended to provide a lipopolysaccharide and/or lipid A binder. The lipopolysaccharide and/or lipid A binder as described above contains, as the active ingredient, a peptide capable of binding to a lipopolysaccharide and/or lipid A [for example, a peptide having an amino acid sequence represented by XYSSS (X=K, R or H)] or its derivative. This lipopolysaccharide and/or lipid A binder can be used as, for example, an agent for neutralizing a lipopolysaccharide and/or lipid A or an agent for removing a lipopolysaccharide and/or lipid A. |
