LTF and Sepsis: In their study, La Russa et al. reported that among a large group of recognized markers of endothelial damage from the group of adhesins, ICAM-1 (CD54), E-selectin (CD62E), and VE-cadherin are useful postmortem markers of sepsis; these authors also indicated the possibility of testing other markers for this purpose, such as angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE), TNF-α, PCT, VEGF, some antigens expressed on leukocyte surfaces (very late antigen-4 (VLA-4), i.e., CD49d/CD29), and enzymes contained in neutrophils granules (lysozyme (LZ), lactoferrin (LF), and s-TREM-1) [198].
