Abstract excerpt

The iron carrier protein transferrin plays a prominent antioxidant and anti-bacterial role in the lower respiratory tract and is present at elevated concentrations in lung epithelial lining fluid relative to plasma. The level of transferrin receptor synthesis in primary cultures of rat alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) was investigated. Transferrin receptor was found to be synthesized early in AEC cultures with...
