Abstract excerpt
TNFα-stimulated gene-6 (TSG6), a 30-kDa protein generated by activated macrophages, modulates inflammation; however, its mechanism of action and role in the activation of macrophages are not fully understood. Here we observed markedly augmented LPS-induced inflammatory lung injury and mortality in TSG6-/- mice compared with WT (TSG6+/+) mice. Treatment of mice with intratracheal instillation of TSG6 prevented...
