In contrast to MERTK, which was regulated similarly in the two mouse strains, LAIR-1 expression was differentially regulated in C57BL/6J and BALB/c in the context of sepsis, with LAIR-1 expression significantly upregulated only in CLP C57BL/6 CD11b+Ly6Chigh monocytes. This evidence concerns the gene LAIR1 and Sepsis.
