Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - newly diagnosed sepsis as defined in the protocol - 18 years or older - able to understand the study information and sign an informed consent (as an alternative, the presence of a representative that is able to understand the study information and sign an informed consent) - willing and according to the investigator able to follow the study procedures
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - immunosuppressive therapy before admission to the ICU and thus before blood can be drawn - pregnancy - lactation - known active HIV, HBV or HCV infection - continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) - coagulation disorder - mechanical ventilation at home - inclusion in a clinical intervention trial in which the intervention may reasonably interfere with the outcomes of this study - admission for more than two weeks on the wards prior to IC admission
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - cytokine / inflammatory mediator (protein) concentrations (a.o. TNF-a, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12, IFN-γ, IL-8, IL-10 and TFG-β) after ex vivo stimulation (with and without a CD200 axis (ant)agonist) - mRNA cytokine / inflammatory mediator expression (a.o. TNF-a, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12, IFN-γ, IL-8, IL-10 and TGF-β) after ex vivo stimulation (with and without a CD200 axis (ant)agonist) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) - cell surface expression of immune receptors as CD200R, CD200 by direct flow cytometry (protein level) (in sepsis patients VS healthy controls) - mRNA expression of immune receptors as CD200R, CD200 (in sepsis patients VS healthy controls) - to determine the causing or contributing factors that alter the expression (a.o. signalling pathways) - cytokine / inflammatory mediator (protein) blood concentrations (a.o. TNF-a, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12, IFN-γ, IL-8, IL-10 and TFG-β) 2) correlation between CD200(R) expression and SOFA score, CD200R expression levels in survivors and non-survivors | — |
