Eight serum proteins (P-selectin, E-selectin, IL-2sRα, IL-18, NE, uPA, uPAR, and CRP) that are elevated in infected neonates function in a molecular network that links coagulation/fibrinolysis, cell adhesion, and inflammation, which are critical determinants of the response to systemic infection.Mo/Mφ, monocytes macrophages.
