Abstract excerpt
Clara cell secretory protein (CCSP) is the most abundant secreted protein within airways of the lung. Moreover, CCSP levels are modulated in human lung disease, supporting a potentially important role for CCSP and/or Clara cells in lung homeostasis. However, in vivo roles for CCSP remain elusive. A popular hypothesis is that CCSP is a regulator of the inflammatory response. The purpose of this review is to...
