Abstract
Platelet-activating factor is a phospholipid mediator of the allergic reaction that is a potent stimulator of acute inflammatory processes. It is produced by various inflammatory cells upon activation by immune or nonimmune stimuli. As Pierre Braquet and Marek Rola-Pleszcynski review here, evidence is now accumulating that platelet-activating factor is a component in the regulation of cellular immune responses.Entities:
