Prolactin's role in hyper-proinflammatory response

Recently, I posited that prolactin (which is vital to avian migration) might be implicated in the hyper-proinflammatory response in mammals (prl is now thought to be an inflammatory cytokine)*. I would be very interested to hear from any researchers working with H7N3 possessing sera from infected poultry. Roy Douglas Pearson
