Journal ArticleDOI

CCL1 released from M2b macrophages is essentially required for the maintenance of their properties.

TL;DR: The increased susceptibility of mice, 10–30 days after burn injury to MRSA infection, may be controlled through the intervention of CCL1 production by M2bMΦ appearing in association with severe burn injuries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Orosomucoid 1 drives opportunistic infections through the polarization of monocytes to the M2b phenotype

TL;DR: Results indicate that ORM1 stimulates quiescent monocytes to polarize to M2b monocytes, which may be beneficial in controlling opportunistic infections in patients with a large amount of plasma OrM1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of M2b Macrophages in the Acceleration of Bacterial Translocation and Subsequent Sepsis in Mice Exposed to Whole Body [137Cs] Gamma-Irradiation

TL;DR: Results indicate that M2bMϕ presented in the I-MLNMϕ populations were responsible for the impaired resistance of mice irradiated with gamma-rays to bacterial translocation and subsequent sepsis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of glycyrrhizin on pseudomonal skin infections in human-mouse chimeras

TL;DR: The results indicate that sepsis stemming from pseudomonal grafted site infections in a chimera model of burn injury is controllable by glycyrrhizin, and impaired antimicrobial peptide production at the infection site of severely burned patients may be restored after treatment with glycyRrhiz in.
