Monocyte response to bacterial toxins, expression of cell surface receptors, and release of anti-inflammatory cytokines during sepsis

Exposure to endotoxin produces a state of macrophage hyporesponsiveness on subsequent stimulation. Monocytes in patients with septic shock demonstrate a similar hyporesponsiveness to endotoxin. The purpose of this study was to examine whether this state of hyporesponsiveness extends to other inflamm...
