Cytokine upregulation of surface antigens correlates to the priming of the neutrophil oxidative burst response

23 Dec 2003

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Neutrophil activation is strongly related to organ dysfunction that occurs during systemic inflammatory responses. The aim of our study was to analyze the oxidative burst response in correlation to the up- and downregulation of N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) receptors and the surface antigens CD11b, CD62L, and CD66b as potential surrogate markers of the degree of neutrophil priming...
