Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms leading to the radiation-induced lung responses of alveolitis and fibrosis are largely unknown. Herein we investigated whether CXC receptor 1 and 2 antagonism with CXCL8((3-72))K11R/G31P (G31P), a protein that reduces neutrophil chemotaxis in acute inflammatory response models, decreases the lung response to radiation. Mice of the AKR/J (alveolitis/pneumonitis responding) and KK/HIJ (fibrosis)...
