The maximum values of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma and IL-6) correlated with the CD64 expression at 22 h after LPS administration (r(2) = 0.76, r(2) = 0.78, r(2) = 0.81, respectively, all P < 0.05), whereas this correlation was not found for the anti-inflammatory IL-10 (r(2) = 0.058, P = 0.54), suggesting that neutrophil CD64 expression might be a quantitative marker for innate immunity that could easily be used in the clinical setting.
