Etymology

From endo- +‎ toxin.

Noun

endotoxin (plural endotoxins)

Any toxin secreted by a microorganism and released into the surrounding environment only when it dies.
- 1966, Karina Dzintars Burda, A Study of Heat-labile Superficial Somatic Antigen of Vibrio Fetus, page 41:
  It may resemble the factor 5 in Salmonella, a heat-labile determinant on the endotoxin molecule which, because of its superficial location, blocks the agglutination reaction of the deeper heat-stable O antigens in the same way as do the Vi and K antigens.
