Neutrophil and B Cell Expansion in Mice That Lack the Murine IL-8 Receptor Homolog
29 Jul 1994
Abstract excerpt
Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a proinflammatory cytokine that specifically attracts and activates human neutrophils. A murine gene with a high degree of homology to the two known human IL-8 receptors was cloned and then deleted from the mouse genome by homologous recombination in embryonic stem (ES) cells. These mice, although outwardly healthy, had lymphadenopathy, resulting from an increase in B cells, and...
