- Research ArticleThrombospondin-1 Restricts Interleukin-36γ-Mediated Neutrophilic Inflammation during Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pulmonary Infection
Pseudomonas aeruginosa pulmonary infection can lead to exaggerated neutrophilic inflammation and tissue destruction, yet host factors that regulate the neutrophilic response is not fully known. IL-36γ is a proinflammatory cytokine that dramatically increases in bioactivity following N-terminal processing by proteases.
