Direct Airway Instillation of Neutrophils Overcomes Chemotactic Deficits Induced by Injury

Conclusion: Injury-derived mtFPs suppress global PMN localization into complex chemotactic environments like infected alveoli. Transplantation of naive exogenous human neutrophils into the airway circumvents that pathologic process and prevents development of post-traumatic pneumonia without injury noted to the recipients.
