Phagocytosis of gram-negative bacteria by a unique CD14-dependent mechanism.

abstract：:Ly-6G is a member of the Ly-6 family of GPI-linked proteins, which is expressed on murine neutrophils. Antibodies against Ly-6G cause neutropenia, and fatal reactions also develop if mice are primed with TNF-alpha prior to antibody treatment. We have investigated the mechanisms behind these responses to Ly-6G ligation...
