We hypothesized that failure to shed L-selectin in systemic inflammation would result in increased local inflammation-induced leukocyte adherence and microvascular leakage."
"Using intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or control bicarbonate buffered saline (BBS) and intrascrotal TNF alpha or BBS, mice were randomized to systemic inflammation (LPSip + BBSis), local...
