Abstract excerpt
CCR1 has previously been shown to play important roles in leukocyte trafficking, pathogen clearance, and the type 1/type 2 cytokine balance, although very little is known about its role in the host response during sepsis. In a cecal ligation and puncture model of septic peritonitis, CCR1-deficient (CCR1(-/-)) mice were significantly protected from the lethal effects of sepsis when compared with wild-type (WT)...
