- Abstract
The cellular and molecular events involved in ischaemia reperfusion (IR) injury are complex and not fully understood. Previous studies have implicated polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) as major inflammatory cells in IR injury. However, anti-PMN antiserum treatment offers only limited protection, indicating that other inflammatory cells are involved. We have therefore investigated the contribution of resident macrophages in IR injury using an IR gut injury model.
