Abstract excerpt
Endotoxin tolerance has the potential to limit phagocyte responses to Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists, but the role of tolerance in regulating neutrophil responses is unknown. We investigated neutrophil responses to prolonged lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure and observed induction of tolerance in intracellular signaling pathways and respiratory burst. These effects were not prevented by granulocyte...
