Abstract excerpt
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion results in an acute inflammatory response culminating in the recruitment of activated neutrophils that directly injure hepatocytes. Recent evidence suggests that CD4+ lymphocytes may regulate this neutrophil-dependent injury, but the mechanisms by which this occurs remain to be elucidated. In the present study, we sought to determine the type of CD4+ lymphocytes recruited to the liver...
