Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: Left lungs of rats were rendered ischemic for 90 minutes and then reperfused for 4 hours. Chemokine secretion into the alveolar space was quantified by enzyme-linked immunoassay. Treated animals received NR58-3.14.3 prior to reperfusion. Vascular injury was measured by lung permeability index, neutrophil accumulation in lung parenchyma was determined by myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and alveolar leukocyte counts were quantified in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) effluent. A ribonuclease protection assay evaluated mRNA expression of various chemokines. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS:
