Abstract excerpt
Studies have shown that following bacterial infection or endotoxin administration, immune functions are regulated differently in mice of different genetic background. Since the susceptibility to sepsis following trauma-hemorrhage is dependant on the severity of injury, it is important to determine whether genetic background of the animal influence immune functions after trauma-hemorrhage. The aim of our studies,...
