Prime and composite

Mononuclear phagocytes play a pivotal role in the pro-gression of septic shock by producing tumor necrosis factor-a(TNF-a) andother inflammatorymediators in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) fromGram-negativebacteria.Our previous studies have shown monocyte and macrophage activationcorrelatewithchanges inmembranephospholipid composition, mediated by acyltransferases. Interferon-c (IFN-c), which activates and primes these cells for enhanced inflammatory responses to LPS, was found to selectively activate lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT) (P...
