Neutrophilia in mice that lack the murine IL-8 receptor homolog
Article Abstract:
An alternative explanation for the neutrophil and B cell expansion observed in mice that do not have the murine interleukin-8 receptor homolog is presented. Research supports the view that the change is a compensatory response to substandard resistance to normal flora and pathogens.
