Abstract
Clostridium difficile toxin A is chemotactic for neutrophils and induces their emigration into the colonic mucosae of rodents. We found that toxin A did not upregulate neutrophil beta 2 integrins on isolated human neutrophils. These data support the hypothesis that in C. difficile colitis, these adhesion molecules are upregulated by endogenous mediators.Entities:
