ROLE OF S100A8 AND S100A9 ALARMINS IN COXSACKIEVIRUS B3-INDUCED MYOCARDITIS

The alarmins S100A8 and S100A9, which preferentially form the S100A8/S100A9 heterodimer, are danger-associated molecular pattern molecules and have been shown to be of importance in several cardiovascular disorders. Their role in myocarditis has not been explored yet. The aim of the present study
