Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) results in a neutrophildependent lung and liver injury. The process of neutrophil recruitment and activation in this injury is at least partially dependent on the presence of the ELR؉ CXC chemokines. Other investigations have shown that ELR؊ CXC chemokines can bloc
