Abstract

Background: Neutrophil apoptosis may play a critical role in the resolution of inflammation by stimulating anti-inflammatory cytokine generation from monocytes. In this study, we investigated the effect of apoptotic neutrophils on interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-1 beta production from monocytes in response to Porphyromonas gingiualis lipopolysaccharide.
