Abstract excerpt
The development of acidic environments is a hallmark of inflammatory processes of different etiology. We have previously shown that transient exposure to acidic conditions, similar to those encountered in vivo, induces the activation of neutrophils and the phenotypic maturation of dendritic cells. We here report that extracellular acidosis (pH 6.5) selectively stimulates the production and the secretion of IL-1β...
