Given that the other AVP/ClB test groups demonstrated a decline in chemokinesis and chemotaxis with an increasing concentration, it was anticipated that the chemokinesis and chemotaxis of the PMNs incubated with the AVP plasma concentration of sepsis (AVP/ClB 12.4) would fall between these values for the physiological AVP plasma concentration (AVP/ClB 1.24) and the AVP plasma concentration during continuous AVP-infusion administration (AVP/ClB 124). The gene discussed is AVP; the disease is Sepsis.
