We also analysed cells isolated from the pancreata of wild‐type and Cxcr2−/− mice by flow cytometry and found that in keeping with our immunohistochemical data, the numbers of CD11b+Ly6G+ and CD11b+F4/80+ cells were reduced in pancreata following pancreatitis induction (Figures 1M and 1N and Supplementary Figure 2). This evidence concerns the gene ITGAM and pancreatitis.
