Abstract excerpt
This study tested the hypothesis that the unique phenotype of alveolar macrophages (AM) is maintained through adaptation to the relatively high oxygen partial pressure (P(O2)) of the lung, through modification of redox-sensitive transcription factors. BALB/c mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMC) were differentiated under different P(O2) and compared functionally to AM and peritoneal macrophages (PM). BMC...
