Abstract excerpt
Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is a cell surface receptor expressed on neutrophils and monocytes. TREM-1 acts to amplify inflammation and serves as a critical mediator of inflammatory response in the context of sepsis. Blocking of TREM-1 can protect against sepsis in mice. To date, the predisposition of TREM-1 gene polymorphisms to sepsis has not been reported. This study was designed...
