Figure 11. Schematic depicting the functions of KC leading to neutrophil accumulation following Kp infection.

KC activates of NF-κB and MAPK causes upregulation of chemokines, such as KC, MIP-2 and LIX and adhesion molecules, including VCAM- and ICAM-1. In turn, these events ultimately cause neutrophil recruitment to clear the bacterial infection from the lungs.
