Cell specific expression of peroxiredoxins in human lung and pulmonary sarcoidosis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Six proteins of the peroxiredoxin (Prx) family have recently been characterised which have the capacity to decompose hydrogen peroxide in vivo and in vitro. These proteins may have an important role in the protection of human lung against endogenous and exogenous oxidant stress. However, the expression and distribution of these proteins in healthy human lung and diseased lung tissue is unknown....
