Abstract
We investigated the contribution of neutrophils to brain edema formation using a transient focal ischemia model in rats. Rats were given anti-neutrophil monoclonal antibody (RP3) intraperitoneally to deplete circulating neutrophils. In RP3-treated rats, ischemic brain edema formation 1 day after reperfusion was significantly decreased compared to that of saline-treated control rats. We speculate that chemical mediators released by infiltrating neutrophils alter vascular permeability and play an important role in post-ischemic brain edema formation.Entities:
