Abstract excerpt
The monocyte is a pivotal cell in septic patients that responds to endotoxin with release of inflammatory cytokines. Monocytes display on their surface a receptor (CD14) for complexes formed by endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) and a plasma LPS-binding protein (LBP). We compared monocytes obtained from normal controls with those obtained from septic patients for expression of CD14 by flow cytometric analysis of...
