Diagnostic accuracy of neutrophil-derived circulating free DNA (cf-DNA/NETs) for septic arthritis.

30 Oct 2009 The release of "neutrophil extracellular traps" (NETs) has been identified as a novel immune response in innate immunity. NETs are composed of neutrophil-derived circulating free DNA (cf-DNA) and neutrophil cytoplasm-derived proteins such as ... Read more...

Evaluation of endotoxin activity in blood measured via neutrophil chemiluminescence in healthy horses and horses with colic.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of a chemiluminescent endotoxin activity assay in horses with colic and healthy horses. ANIMALS: 20 horses with colic and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS group), 8 horses with colic with no SIRS ... Read more...

Lipoxin A(4) metabolites/analogues from two commercial sources have no effects on TNF-alpha-mediated priming or activation through the neutrophil formyl peptide receptors.

29 Sep 2009 The eicosanoid lipoxin A(4) (LXA(4)) is a potent anti-inflammatory mediator in many in vivo experimental models, and it has been proposed that the effects of this molecule are mediated through binding to FPR2 (also termed FPRL1 or ALXR), a member of ... Read more...
