Alpha‐1 Acid Glycoprotein Reduces Hepatic Leukocyte Recruitment in Murine Models of Either Early Endotoxemia or Early Sepsis

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the effect of systemically administered AGP on early leukocyte recruitment in the livers of endotoxemic or septic mice and to determine whether this is influenced by LPS sequestration. METHODS: Endotoxemia was induced in C57Bl/6 mice via intraperitoneal injection of LPS. Sepsis was induced in mice by cecal ligation and perforation. AGP (165 mg/kg) or saline (20 mL/kg) or HAS (200 mg/kg) was administered immediately …
