Abstract excerpt
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene expression in the lung is induced in pathological conditions such as asthma and pneumonia; however, the exact impact of COX-2 gene expression in the airway in regulating inflammatory and immunological response in the lung is not understood. To define a physiological role of inducible COX-2 in airway epithelial cells, we developed a novel line of transgenic mice, referred to as...
