Transcriptional response of bronchial epithelial cells to <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>: identification of early mediators of host defense
9 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
The airway epithelium responds to microbial exposure by altering expression of a variety of genes to increase innate host defense. We aimed to delineate the early transcriptional response in human primary bronchial epithelial cells exposed for 6 h to a mixture of IL-1beta and TNF-alpha or heat-inactivated Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Because molecular mechanisms of epithelial innate host defense are not fully...
