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.
为了确定单核细胞趋化蛋白1(MCP-1)在肺炎球菌肺炎中的作用,将MCP-1基因敲除小鼠和野生型小鼠感染肺炎链球菌。在野生型小鼠中,肺内MCP-1水平与细菌载量密切相关。然而,在细菌生长、炎症反应和致死率方面,MCP-1基因敲除小鼠和野生型小鼠并无差异。
