Abstract:Introduction:
Axl, a receptor tyrosine kinase, is required for vascular and immune cell survival. We sought to investigate the effects of Axl on T lymphocyte survival during deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertension in mice.
Methods and Results:
We found significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (BP) after 5-6 weeks of DOCA-salt in RAG1-/- mice after adoptive transfer of CD4+ T cells from Axl knockout (Axl-/- →RAG1-/-) compared to tran… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
