Abstract excerpt
Thermal injury induces immune dysfunction and alters numerous physiological parameters. Studies have proposed that genetics influence the outcome after traumatic injury and/or sepsis, however, the contribution of genetics to the immune-inflammatory response postburn has not been investigated. In this study, mice of three distinct genetic backgrounds (C57BL/6NCrlBR, BALB/cAnNCrlBR, and 129S6/SvEvTac) were...
