Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 does not contribute to protective immunity against pneumococcal pneumonia

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

To determine the role of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) during pneumococcal pneumonia, MCP-1 knockout and wild-type mice were infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae. Pulmonary MCP-1 levels were strongly correlated to bacterial loads in wild-type mice. However, MCP-1 knockout and wild-type mice were indistinguishable with respect to bacterial growth, inflammatory responses, and lethality
