Abstract excerpt
Local regulation of immune and inflammatory responses within the alveolar space is a critical aspect of normal pulmonary host defense. The type I and type II epithelial cells that line the alveolar space are in intimate contact with lymphocytes and macrophages within the alveolar space and are id...
