Abstract excerpt
During development and injury, pulmonary neuroendocrine (NE) cells may transiently express Clara cell 10 kD protein (CC10), a major product of the nonciliated progenitor cells for normal and neoplastic airway epithelia suggesting a close relationship between the cells. To assess the role of CC10 during NE differentiation, we studied CC10-deficient mouse lungs by immunohistochemistry and digital imaging. The...
