Depletion of neutrophil extracellular traps in vivo results in hypersusceptibility to polymicrobial sepsis in mice
26 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Although the formation of neutrophil (PMN) extracellular traps (NETs) has been detected during infection and sepsis, their role in vivo is still unclear. This study was performed in order to evaluate the influence of NETs depletion by administration of recombinant human (rh)DNase on bacterial spreading, PMN tissue infiltration and inflammatory response in a mouse model of polymicrobial sepsis....
