In the absence of CXCL5, CXCL1, and CXCL2 bind to the Duffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokines (DARC) to increase the neutrophil infiltration in the lungs, which enhances bacterial clearance, and protects the animal from severe pneumonia (52). The gene discussed is CXCL5; the disease is susceptibility to pneumonia measurement.
