Abstract excerpt
Severe injury induces immune dysfunction resulting in increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections. Previous studies from our laboratory have demonstrated that post-burn immunosuppression is mediated by nitric oxide (NO) due to the increased expression of macrophage inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). In contrast, others suggest that injury causes a phenotypic imbalance in the regulation of Th1- and...
