Del-1 deficiency increases inflammatory cell recruitment. (A) The numbers of neutrophils in the blood, BAL fluid, and peritoneal lavage fluid in control and CLP mice at 4 h after CLP. (B) The numbers of neutrophils in the blood, BAL fluid, and peritoneal lavage fluid in WT and Del-1^−/− mice at 4 h after CLP. The data are shown as the mean ± SD (n = 5 mice per group). ^*P < 0.05 and ^†P < 0.01, Student’s t-test. BAL: bronchoalveolar lavage; CLP: cecal ligation and puncture; Del-1: developmental endothelial locus-1; WT: wild-type.
