Deletion of the Gene Encoding Calcitonin and Calcitonin Gene–Related Peptide α Does Not Affect the Outcome of Severe Infection in Mice

Procalcitonin (PCT) is expressed in nonthryoidal tissues of humans during severe infections. Serum PCT levels are measured to diagnose and guide therapy, and there is some evidence that PCT may also contribute to the pathogenesis of sepsis.
